My Business

I sell fast house hold goods such as sugar, flour, bread, milk, soda, eggs cooking oil, books and more important house goods needed for day to day life. Since these goods are necessary for everyone lifetime they are in high demand thus promotes my business at high rate.Since my business has grown through your zidisha support by over 40% I now spent $150 on weekly basis to add stock in my shop which generates a good return in terms of profit. This has helped me to pay my rents, bills, school fees for my children, brother and sister . I also use my profit to grow my business and buy my house goods. I intend to employ more workers in supply sector as my business grows.Thank you zidisha and my lender for this great trust you gave to me and your support since everything is running well BE BLESSED RICHLY.

    Are you able to catch up on your missed payments? If so, when do you think you'll be able to make the missing payments?

    The income generated by the business is low. This affects my profit which I use to pay the loan. I request to be paying $25 per instalment.Thank you.

    The loan was used to buy few bags of cereals since the requested amount was not raised. This has helped me because I had always interest with cereals but capital was the problem . Apart from the shop commodities the cereals will help me alot in term of business expansion hence more profit return.

    Thanks Zindisha team. With the loan I managed to increase the stock of the shop whereby it helped me to increase the flow of the customers thus more returns.
    This return has also helped me to venture in other investment where buy I have purchased my own plot with partinaship with my husband and which I'm intending to finish. This will help in term of flow of money because all the room are lental. Thanks Zindisha team for the loan, it has helped me to cater for the education of my children thou the same business.
    Because of the nature of business we don't normally go for holiday because most of the goods are perishable.
    Thanks the Zindisha team.
