My bissinesss is located at Freearea Center at Kiratina trading center which is approximately 4 kilometers from Nakuru town near a builing know as Vaision Complex.
near new kiratina market which is just opposite to the Nakuru –Nairobi highway .my bissiness is not named but it is well knows as Ben’s shop and grocery the reason for my business to be know is because I ususlly sell vatiey of many things in small quaties as Soko ya Wanjenga .I have a shop and a Soko in Munanda near munanda matatu stage , the bisiness is located at the main junctionand entrance to kiratina my business include sellingof many things like sugar ,,rice,cooking oil alltype of drinks i.e soda,all type of washing soap ,I have kept aside a place outside my shop for selling varity of cereas like flour for maize,millet and other I mixed ingredient ,beans ,cabbages, pumpkins and other s,my bussines is well know because its located at the entrance of kiratina and othe places within the area and also I usually sell Varity of commodities to my customer in various quatity at affordable prices ,this usually attract many customer especially at kiratina were many people rely and have a tendancy of shopping dairy as they come from their job going home ,I also give them debt to my dairy customer who are well know to me and usully pay their debt on time. My business is profitable during all seasons because I have aready market for my product especially for my green grocery were by every day I have to go to look for them in order,I usually wait for the product from were I buy them this help me in minimizing the cost of trasport I get i.e to meet the customer demand . The business is more profitable because the product that I sell come from our nearby villages like Ndodori and kiambogo were they produce many farm product in large and the price is cheap, I also cook and sell chips to my customer thus make my bissiness more famour especially to yong generation who like chips . The risk facing the business is theft due to insecurity during the night because the place have many population who most of them are know to be gun criminals this make us close the bissinee as early as 7:00PM to avoid those criminaals.My typical monthly cost is khs 100000, sale revenue is around ksh 50000 and profit is above 30000 but I am planning to earning more.
