About Me

My name is Sarah Mugah, and we have been blessed with 1 kid.
I did my O-level in the year 2013 and later proceeded to do several short courses includind Information Technology (I.T) and did various jobs including employment in an insurance firm, real estate agency firm and as salesman. I quit employment in to be self employed last year where I did various small businesses. I i decided to borrow some cash from my retired Dad and together with the small savings i had acquired a Kyocera Aficio Mp 2000 Photocopier and proceeded to open my own business. My main clients include , students in colleges and schools.

My Business

I run a cyber and Photocopy services at Shabab centre in Nakuru town Its a one room computer shop cum typing bureau right next to a newly built near Mount Kenya University.The university has close to 6000 students and this population is targetable businesswise.Students look for ways and means to have their study papers,proposals and even thesis' typed by experienced typists and computer bureaus.Since i have polished my skills with the necessary knowledge i have an increasing number of clients,especially the student population and lecturers,most of whom know little about computer packages and prefer giving the work to someone else. I pay 3000 kshs (30$) for rent and 4$ for electricity per month.I make an average of 100$ a month from typing and thesis binding work in a month.I have not employed anyone but do this work myself.It is my vision to increase my equipment by adding more paper for printing and a photocopy machine

Loan Proposal

Given the loan i want to expand my business to include internet service,printing, lamination and binding
With he loan i will be able to buy and instal a high and more speed internet in order to give my customers more quality services and this will attract more customers
hence reaping more profits that will enable me to repay the loan in good time.

    Hi Zidisha i would like to reduce my repayment instalments to Ksh. 100. I have really delayed due to disagreements with my landlord. Kindly accept my request because i have sorted out the issue and would like to pick from where i left. Thanks.

    Hi Sarah, How are you? Is business well?

    I want to let you know that your payments are showing up late. It seems that you are only one payment behind but I see you are making regular payments. Have you made a mistake? You have been great with repayments and it would be a real shame if your record shows late because of a simple error.

    Keep up the good work.

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Hellow Zidisha i have decided to adjust my instalments to Ksh. 200 because im moving to another spacious premise that i have been given by my Aunty for free.I know it may take time to adjust with the customers and thats why i have adjusted the amount to make me be able to repay my loan on time. After i have settled i will adjust it and look forward to clear the loan and apply the third one.Thanks Zidisha

    Hellow Zidisha. I have decided to change the repayment schedule to Ksh. 2000 because my business has aggressively picked up. I now receive more customers who enjoy the high speed internet i fixed using the first loan. With the rapid increase of customers i want to clear the first loan in order to apply the second loan to buy more computers because customers are daily increasing.
    Thank you very much Zidisha
