My Business

I deal with the sale of industrial chemical..its used to make liquid soap..i started in 2013..my husband had already started the business then we opted to do the sales in our estate too..we stay in east-lands, dandora estate.I make at least 300 per day.I chose the business because many people use the detergent for cleaning and even washing clothes and its economical compared to normal soaps.
I use the profit to invest in groups which on the other hand help me to boost my business when i get the savings and also assist pay school fees for my children.Its challenging though i have trusted customers.

My profit will increase from 500 to 900ksh.i will also suply detergents for household purposes and look for more orders from schools.
