About Me

I am the first born in a family of seven, an accountant at Bidii Investments, and a clothing business owner.

Growing up in a family of seven inspired me to work hard in order to help in supporting the family. As a child, I always dreamt of owning a business. Achieving this dream was not easy, but through personal savings I was able to set up a clothing business.

My hobbies include reading newspapers, magazines, and novels, and also socializing.

My Business

My business entails selling new clothes at retail prices after acquiring them in bulk from wholesalers. Even though over the years there has been influx of secondhand clothes in the market, many people still prefer buying new clothes.
I chose to venture into this business due to a gap which existed as a result of a lack of businesses similar to mine in the business locality.

My typical costs include:
rent -$67
employees wages- $78
transport cost- $56
water and electricity bill- $22
revenue-$222.2

Most of the profits the business generates are usually re-invested into the business.

Loan Proposal

My business entails selling new clothes at retail prices, after acquiring them in bulk from wholesalers.

If granted the loan, I will buy:
- new trousers worth $60
- night dresses worth $20
- ladies' dresses worth $10
- towels worth $10
- shirts worth $25
- ladies trousers worth $25
- pillows worth $30

With this increase in stock, I will be able to generate an extra profit of $200 every month. Hence, beside continuing assisting my younger sister, I will continue to extend my help to my older sister by continuing to cater for part of the payment of her school fees in college for the second year ($40 per month). She is expected to complete in September 2018, pursuing a course in Business Management.

I am also pursuing a Bachelor's of Commerce, which I began this year in March, and the same profit generated will assist [with this] by an estimated $30 per month. Extra profit generated will be re-invested back into the business.
