About Me

My name is Daughty and i run a Bakery business,i have been a Zidisha member for a while now ,my first loan was 9,000 and my last Loan was over 100,000 thousand,that's how much i have grown in Zidisha, am still looking forward to grow even more.

My Business

My lender's
Hope this finds you well.
Am good ,my Bakery is doing fairly well,my staff who are doing well too , it's been a while since i communicated, i got a tender to supply two school's and am happy with the results.
Am glad we got this business after a long struggle to get back to our feet again .
we look forward to inceased orders as time goes by .

Project Proposal

Once am funded, I will meet with the specific company that is fabricating the Aluminum Trays ,give my measurements and pay 50%deposit for the 100 Trays, it will take an average of one working week to be completed, Am using the same company that made the current Trays that I have had for 9 Year's, they did a good job abd these current Trays have served me well ,
Reason for pulling them all out at this juncture:-
1) They have All cracked at the edges and have posed a Risk of accumulating Bacteria and transferring the same to the cakes .
2) They are causing accidents (Cuts) on our hands as we off load them from various sections.
3)They are worn out and it's about Time to replace them .

    To my lender's, thank you for your support and patience, I am glad to say that my bakery is starting to show positive signs of progress, hopefully we will be out of the woods in no time .
    Will keep you posted.

    My business suffered a huge loss during covid and I have not fully recovered since ,however am committed to clear my loan and equally to continue with my business, am positive it will come around.

  • Daughty    Nov 18, 2022

    Am still not exactly stable like before, so I have to base my repayment to my current cash flow ,its not exactly bad but we are not yet out of the woods ,however we are slowly getting back.

    Like I said yesterday when making my deposit, the business is facing some challenges but we shall overcome in due course

    The profit margin has reduced drastically due to high cost of All raw materials.
    It's very sad ,the painful part is that we can't keep reviewing our selling price because the customers will dissappear.

  • Daughty    Nov 9, 2022

    My business is still struggling, cost of raw materials keeps escalating, the sad part is we can't keep changing the selling price, so you find that it's your profit margin that keeps reducing. We still remain hopeful that the costs will come down sooner than later .

    Log in to reply • Share

  • Daughty    Oct 31, 2022

    My business is still not operating to its optimum, dry goods for baking are still costly ,reducing our profit significantly however we still remain optimistic about it.

  • Daughty    Oct 28, 2022

    Am still not financially viable so I have to reduce my payments, when things look up I will adjust upwards ,Am looking at 2023

  • Daughty    Oct 6, 2022

    It is difficult to run a business in the current hardships that we are facing ,sincerely cost of raw materials is extremely high wheat flour went up again without Notice cost of sugar equally went up ,however we remain optimistic.

  • Daughty    Sep 29, 2022

    Am still struggling but hopeful, thing's may change and we can start making a little profit, it's been a while since we made the profit that we budgeted for ,but all in all we are forging ahead No retreat.
    Nothing stays permanent.

  • Daughty    Sep 26, 2022

    It's unfortunate that my business is not doing well as expected, the overheads remain high and the profit margins are lower due to high cost of raw materials.
    Am optimistic things will turn around for the better.

    Log in to reply • Share

  • Daughty    Sep 18, 2022

    Currently my business is not doing so well as before, we are struggling, tye cist of raw materials used in the bakery is equally too high and its not coming down any soon because the cost of fuel went up yesterday, Am sure the price of flour oil and sugar will equally go up again.
    However we remain optimistic that the new government will intervene.

  • Daughty    Sep 7, 2022

    To my Lender's, hope you are all well.

    We are back to business after a long stretch in campaigns and court battles, we have a new president elect ,we look forward to price reduction on commodities to enable our businesses to survive leave alone to strive, we as a business community have suffered alot and are still suffering as prices of raw materials have not gone down ,its affecting us alot.

    We sincerely hope for a new beginning in the shortest time possible.

    Otherwise we are still hanging in there ,with our school orders which have not changed we thank God.

    Hopefully things will look up soon.

    My business is still struggling ,cost of raw materials has not come down yet the overheads have remained high ,this in return affects the bottom line.

    I had to close my business for fear of hooligans breaking in during the election period, things are abit stable now we can afford to open and do deliveries.

  • Daughty    Aug 1, 2022

    Business is extremely slow and also we are facing tough times as bakers ,cost of raw materials is not coming down any soon ,customer's are equally not buying much so the overheads are remaining high ,however am still optimistic that things will look up after our next week election.

    Current sales status is not showing signs of improvement we are barely able to pay fir our bills on time ,Am optimistic that come August after election things will look up

  • Daughty    Jul 7, 2022

    My business is real slow ,we are not selling as much and this is Affected further by the fact that schools are on holiday and that reduces my sales by half ,it is indeed unfortunate.
