About Me

my name is Patrick Ngigi, I operate two businesses, one that deals with detergent supplies and another that deals with carwash supplies.
The carwash is what i will call a anchor business.
Demand for carwash supplies continues to grow. Many people are taking up carwash and detailing as a side hustle while others have plunged full time into car washing.
I am here to make it easier for carwash owners and detailers to get supplies they need for their work.
My aim is to stock every detailing tools and accessories needed in a carwash.
I am a father of 3 girls, i am hoping to grow this business so that my girls can take up shared roles to accelerate the business during my old years.
I am currently 42 years.
My first born daughter is 13 years, second born is 7 years, third born is 2 years.

My Business

Most of my business income come from the carwash business venture, The growth of the detergents supplies business has been slow due to market saturation.

Project Proposal

I intend to add more carwash and detailing supplies. Carwash owners are looking for quality supplies as detailing business is growing.
The money i am raising is intended to add more stock ahead of the december festive season.
I also plan to introduce into my shop other products used in carwashing so as to offer a one stop shop experience to my existing customers

    My last project funding was a success, although the economy was it favourable, I managed to stock and start selling carwash machines.
    It's a dream come true and I hope to have another carwash machine and gradually increase my stock

    Its been a great experience being able to serve every customers need. After my last fund raising, i have been able to keep up with car care products demands. I was not running out of stock.
    This time round, i want to add new products.
    Am happy am have been able to meet customers expectations. This funding together with high level of customer service will get to where i desire to be. A one stop shop for car care products.

    Let me update my backers today. I am almost paying up my loan and there has been a significant progress especially on fast moving car care products.
    Cash flow has improved in the last one week as clients are not missing on what they are looking for.
    I still want to increase my stock by adding new car care products.
    I will be coming back to raise more money for inventory as i seek for expansion

    Hello Zidisha family, i resumed business today after a long festive season.
    Am happy my clients found me well stocked and ready to serve.
    That feeling of being prepared, ready and well stocked, it was satisfying.
    I give thumbs up to those who funded my inventory project.
    I was able to serve my clients today becouse of you.
    I managed to buy more stock before breaking for Christmas holidays.
    I owe my success to you.
    I will also want you to be in my position.
    I will definitely fund a project through this platform so that we can together achieve our business goals
    Ahsanteni sana

    I want to thank everyone for making this funding a success. These funds will go along way in boosting my inventory and realising my dream of a one stop shop for car care and carwashing products.
    This money comes at a time when the new year 2023 is starting.
    Opening a new year with a fully stocked shop is every business persons wish.
    I want to thank everyone, i appreciate, i also thank the Zidisha management for this platform, its truly changing lives.
    Such amount of money would require so much documentation were it be sourced local Kenyan banks, but here it is, sourced from a community of businessmen and women.
    Once again, thank you all and have a prosperous 2023.

    The last funding helped me add more car care and detailing products in my shop. Clients were able to get products i previously did not have in stock.
    Am living up to my mission of "all under one roof" selling all detailing and car care products.
    Am still not there yet. With my next funding, i hope to make it a reality

    Thank you members for accepting to fund my project. I intend to make more carwash and detailing purchases to add to my current inventory.
    I will buy more dashboard polish from different importers. My aim is to provide a one stop shopping experience for my clients. Having a mix of dashboard polish from different manufactures gives my clients freedom to make their choice without restricting them to just one brand.
    Once again, i want to thank you all and wish you all the best in your various projects.
    May God bless your hustles.
