About Me

i deal in second hand clothes which have made me sustain myself and helped me take myself to school and with the clothes that remain i usually help out the expectant mothers who find themselves giving birth and have nothing to clothe there .I mostly buy children clothing.Then when business is slow i exchange the clothes with maize as it is a staple food it sustains me with other things.

My Business

it,s on cash and sale.
if the clothes are good second hand gives a 100% profit.
if not so good i make a 30% profit.
I sell from my neighbourhood small market.
i have to market myself and advertise.
if possible follow my clients door to door
Buy clothes that season
a good bell costs about 2500
i love it because i dress the local people that cant afford to buy clothes in a shop and the people are always ready to buy from me because i accomodate or the people.

Loan Proposal

I will improve my bussiness and make more attractive to invite more people to get intrested in my clothes help me buy hangers and more displaying items and atlist get a good shade space for myself and be able to pay someone to help out as at times it becomes busy and demanding as i need assistance that on my own it becomes a challenge.

    Thankyou for having approved my loan.The funds made a difference because i was able to get more than i get and i got more quality things than i do and have maintained my prices looking at the community i deal with because in the stock they where more things in the bell being and it summer i had a quiet a good sale.my earnings have increased with a good percentage.I live in a town where sugar is produced and everyone in my community awaits for sugar cane to grow and know that will have good production the rainy season is around the corner so waiting for the farming season which even the little ones help out and waiting for the mango friuts to ripe.Public holidays and school holidays make a difference in my community as families find time to be together.Thankyou for helping me make a difference to my bussiness.
