About Me

I am Emily Seroney, born and brought up in Kware, Rongai in Nakuru county. I went through the Primary and secondary level successfully. I later did the Accounting Courses where I graduated and since I could not be employed I started my own business( a hotel). My business did so well and I hired three people who assisted me in this business. I managed to buy a plot with the profits I made from it.
I have two children both are still in lower primary, first born is in class 4 and the other in nursery school. I am so impressed by what they would like to be in future, one is Engineering and the other a doctor. I make sure they get all what they need for their education so that they can achieve their dreams.

My Business

I later came to be employed in Rongai Rural Sacco as an Accountant therefore I decided to quit the catering department and engage in the Mpesa business which would also rhyme with my area of specialization. I have hired one person to assist me run it as I monitor it daily. This business has seen me develop my plot as well as farming and also paying for fees.

Loan Proposal

I want to expand my second M-pesa in my rural centre. Thus the loan I will get will be used to buy more stationery like Exercise books, pens, envelopes and refreshments like sodas and cakes. Already I have a photocopier in place where I normally photocopy exams because my business is a few metres from Kapkwen Kware Primary and secondary school.
i intend to hire a second worker because work is increasing. I also plan to buy 2 more computers with the earnings I will get from this business.
The profit I received from my first business as at 31st Aug 2016 was Ksh. 80,020. I intend to increase this figure after I buy refreshments for my customers. This is one way of bringing more customers.

    I have spoken to Abigael through the phone, the lady who invited Emily since I could not reach her mobile number. Abigael promised to find out the problem and report back.

    Firstly, let me appreciate for the loan which you gave me. It has been an open eye which has helped me to open another business in my rural centre. I increased my business by stocking stationery and this has seen my business grow unto the point of opening another one. What do I say now about Zidisha? Its amazing! In fact the amount of money which I repaid my last repayment was from this business.
    I also look forward to adding some refreshments in my 2 shops so that I increase my earnings.
    I also plan to take my children to Lake Nakuru this festive season, probably as from 13-16th December. Lake Nakuru is just 30kms and I do hope they will have fun as they will see flamingos, Buffaloes, Giraffes etc.
