About Me

I am 32yrs old, married with 2 kids, one in pre unit school. I am a graduate teacher in a public school called Muriricua Secondary School in kiptangwanyi trading centre. I teach Mathematics and Business studies. I reside in Kiptangwanyi shopping centre which is about 42 km from Nakuru town. I am a tenant in plot number 102 house number 1.

My Business

My business entails the sale of hardware materials. I sell cement, paints, roofings, iron sheets, wheelbarrows and other building and construction materials. There is very high demand of these commodities since Nakuru is a fast growing town and the demand for housing is very high. This has increased the demand for building and construction materials. I purchase my goods from Nairobi at a relatively lower price hence my customers prefer my goods as I sell to them at a relatively lower prices. The main challenges that my business encounter are insufficient capital, high transport costs and fluctuating prices of commodities. Currently I am using my income and earnings to expand my business.

Loan Proposal

Dear Lenders,
I would like to use my second loan to furthers expand my business by purchasing more stock for my hardware shop. With more funding the business is promising in terms of profitability. The first loan did help me alot a and the revenues I am getting from the business has increased. I therefore would like to thank the lenders for their continued support and promise to be more aggressive in expanding the business with my second loan.
