My Business

my business of selling petrol and kerosine started before my retirement because i was well known by many people here in kiptagwanyi, and after discovering how people were changing high when buying paraffin .i apply from the company a pump which will be accurate when selling to customer so to satisfy customers need.the business is very profitable in this area as many people depend in kerosine to get light to their home. also because of many people having trust in my measurement,thy prefer to buy in my pump and also good relationship with the people around this area i get many customer from as far as kiambogo center who came to buy in wholesale so that thy can sell to their shop. also many motorbike riders prefer to buy from my pump because it is not mix with other thing ,because it came direct from the company. the main challenge is high price of this commodity, poor road in this area, high changes of license by the government that made sometime to sell in high price so that i can cover the cost

    dear my lenders,it have been long without saying or writing any comment but i always communicate through my phone to the organization,but i was told by one of your member that it is not enough,so i will start commenting in my profile now and then to update you how my business is doing,after i receive my loan i invested it in my business,but because at that time business in this area was very low i strain to keep my business running and i succeeded in my effort being help by that loan,although i was late in starting my repayment,in June i was able to pay all outstanding monthly payment and catchup with the repayment,i am very sorry for the delay.i think to complete my loan in this month of august all so that i can borrow another one,thanks
