About Me

My names are Mercy Chebet. I am a permanent resident of Chepkosa village, in Bomet. I am married and we are blessed with three children. I completed my secondary education in 2013. After looking for a job in vain, I decided to venture into business of selling new and second hand clothes. Later as the business grew I introduced shoe wares. The proceed income from my business is put back to the business and the rest is used to support the daily expenses of my house hold.

My Business

My business deals with the new and second hand clothes, shoes wares. There is demand for these goods especially the second hand clothes due to the government regulation of the cotton industry. The demand is also due to my competitive price to the customers. Customers prefer my business because of the ideal strategic location of the business. I am polite and courteous ant that is the reason customers prefer my business. The business is profitable because I am able to add stocks and I can see it grow each and every month and now especially after joining ZIDISHA org. My monthly cost of sales is > Kshs 40,000.00. Total Monthly sells is > Kshs 80,000.00
Transport cost and other expenses: Kshs 10,000.000, Rent Kshs 2000.00
Total expenses Kshs 12,000.00.
My monthly net profit > Kshs 28,000.00

Loan Proposal

I intent to buy 5 more bails of clothes and 1bail of shoe wares to an existing stock.
This is after I have gain more customers in my shop as a result of my human resource skill in customer conduct which has made my customers gain faith in my clothing goods hence high demand of my products. Also funding from ZIDISHA is another important factor to my business expansion.
I need an amount of US$ 365 to purchase five bails of clothes and one bail of shoes as follows:
-5 bales of clothing at $60 per bale = $300
-1 bale of shoe wear at $65 per bale= $65
Total = $365
At the cost of $60 each, this will earn me $90 each when fully sold hence a profit of $30 each bail which give me a total profit of $150 . The bail of shoes cost $65 which when sold will earn me $95 giving me a profit of $30.This is a good additional profit to my business. I will ensure prompt repayment as I have been in my previous loans. I hope and believe that you will consider supporting me.
Thanks
Sincerely Mercy
