    Grace paid her loan back early and it has been a pleasure to help in a small way in furthering her business venture. Would certainly invest again.

    I have been experiencing delayed payments and as a result when the cash comes in it has been going to offset penalties. However i'm working on regularising the account

    Late payments from suppliers and clients hence the reason for installments adjustment

    Kindly allow me more time to sort out my debts by end of month. This is as a result of delayed payments but i'll regularise as soon as possible.

    I would like to change due to late payments by clients and slow business caused by the current political environment in Kenya. I am expecting most clients to pay within the next two months hence the reason for requesting for two month instalments adjustments. Meanwhile, i am greatful for your continued support

    The previous loan was useful for my business as i was able to pay for advertising & business stock. The profits i got were enough to repay the loan.
