About Me
The following are the required start-up costs:
The purchase of Dan Jokerdoc D.D.S.' private practice. The purchase includes the patient list, office space, front chair and desk, two dental chairs, two light systems, fully-equiped sterilization room, compression air system with a suction unit, x-ray unit, mirrors, and a phone system. This practice has been valued by the following variables: equipment, office space already built for a dentist, goodwill, and future revenue streams. The equipment has been valued at $30,000, $15,000 for tenant improvements on the office space, the patient list at $5,000 and $25,000 for future profitability. The entire practice was sold for $65,000 because Dr. Jokerdoc was in need of quick cash. Statistical studies have shown that patients that are made comfortable are likely to stay with the new doctor when a practice is sold. This will help with cash flow, minimizing the amount of start-up cash. The bulk of the equipment needed will procured through the purchase of the practice, however, there is a lot of equipment that will be needed to be purchased separately.
My Business
The following list details what else will be needed.
Front desk equipment including a Xerox machine, fax machine, a computer terminal with Microsoft office, QuickBooks Pro, laser printer and a CD-RW.

Placing instrument.
Curing instrument.
Ultrasonic scaler (for removal of prophylaxis).
High- and low-speed drills (enough for two operators).
Please note that all items that are to be used for more than a year will be classified as long-term capital assets and will be depreciated using the G.A.A.P approved straight-line method of depreciation.
Loan Proposal
In this third loan, I am requsting Zidisha to grant me loan that will see me engage in peas farming. This initiative has picked up in Nakuru and its environs with entry of a company Frigoken which has been serving as an outlet for market. This Company is so far helping farmers right from seedlings and ready and continious buying where payment are made monthly. In the past farmers were selling to traders from Nairobi and with entry of this company, Nairobi traders were forced to up their price in order too get customers, this created competition among the buyers and the farmers ended up benefiting. With this, I will require only four months to have them ready for the first harvest. I 1 acre of land, am projecting a profit of about Ksh 20,000 within four months which is a good investment since I will be harvesting every one week thereafter.
