About Me

my name is kingstone sharu and a resident of Upendo Estate of Nakuru town that is three kilometers from the Nakuru town and next to Bondeni police station.After completing my education way back in 1998 l ventured into business so as to earn a living and support my siblings who were still in school.This made me to venture into so many business and that did not pick up until a friend of mine introduced me to media production which l later ventured after finishing my course and which l do up do date.this has enabled me to develop myself economically.other than doing business l like traveling and singing and am an active member of my local church where l participate in various projects such as youth projects. do

My Business

l have a media production business here in Nakuru.The business is good and very profitable if one owns the equipments compared to hiring of the equipments as in my case.l have networked with my clients and friends so as to market my business and attract more customers.my customers are mostly the people who are wedding,birthdays, graduations,and pastors who broadcast their programmes on local TV stations.there is lot of competition from other professionals in the industry but l make suretha l meet the customers needs and my price is fair so as to attract more customers and retain them.the business gives me ks,15,000 after deducting expenses such as hiring of the professional camera.if my loan application succeed l will use the money to buy to buy my own camera.

Loan Proposal

Dear all, first l am very grateful for having come this far and want to sincerely thank my lenders for the first loan that you gave me. it enabled me to boost my business where l was able to buy my own camera.for this second loan l will use the money to expand the business where l want to buy plastic chair and tent for hire since l am in the entertainment industry.This will enable me to earn an extra income because l have realized the business is very viable. My sincere thanks goes to the entire Zidisha team for their dedication and commitment to help entrepreneurs.
