About Me
l was born in Nakuru county and attended Nakuru high school and later joined Menengai training institute where l was trained as a secretary.since jobs were hard to come by l opted to go for self employment my friend introduced me to the cereal business. my elder brother advanced me ksh 10,000 that l used as the initial capital for the business.since there was a lot of demand for the cereals and especially rice l; thought of opening a store instead of operating in the open market and later rented a store in the bargain area of Nakuru up to today.am married with three kids and business help me to meet their needs and most of the earnings l buy more stock for the business.
My Business
l normally stock all types of cereals that includes rice, maize,beans, kamande, ndegu.most of the cereals l buy from the farmers at a fair price and since l buy in large quantities their prices are relatively good and able to sell to my customers at a competitive price and this enables me to make more profits.l do also look for orders from the schools around and supply them with the cereals.this has boosted my profits and right now l want to venture into hotels in and within the town.the business gives me around ksh 30,000 every month as profit and mostly do sell around ksh 150,000 as sales.the future of my business is very promising and if advanced with the loan it will help me in buying more stock.
