About Me

I am a competent team player, focused, self-motivated, honest, result oriented and organized person. I have always wanted to be around kids and to see them happy. With my love for kids and my desire to be an accomplished businessman, I came up with a kid’s fanfare business. I started the business about two years ago after finishing college with money that I had saved from my attachment and with the help of a family friend. The business has a bouncing castle, a portable swing and an assortment of small toys and dolls. I lease the equipment to schools, churches and to individuals who may be having special occasions like birthdays. In the past one year I have been able to cement my position as the go to guy for all kids related festivities from birthdays,weddings to school closing days.

My Business

I started an entertainment business for kids about two years ago. I have a bouncing castle, a portable swing, two motorized toy cars and a host of small toys and dolls that I lease. To ensure that the equipment are well taken care of when leased I attend the occasions and also use my creative skills to do face painting. This kind of business model is the first of its kind in my home town and I have been able to stay ahead of any competition by making sure that the equipment are in good condition, by offering free transport and by pricing fairly. I have been able to realize good profits ever since its inception given that kids entertainment has not been taken seriously countrywide.

Loan Proposal

Getting into business has really helped me realize and nurture my talents as well as those of others. Am good at drawing and this has been instrumental in bringing in more revenue for my business through face painting. When I offer my services to various festivals, I have realized that one thing that kids deem a must is to have their faces painted. It is for this reason that I want to enhance my face painting section of the business. With the right kind of equipment and the right skills, I could rake a considerable amount of money from face painting. I no doubt have the skills which have been tried and tested: during busy or packed events I employ a friend who is also good at drawing and I can confess we are good. The main barrier, however, has been the equipment and products we have been using which are not the best in the market, with the paint having the potential of causing allergies to some kids. The loan of 44 dollars will be significant in assisting my company Kiddies Fun Fare Joint to purchase face painting equipment of international quality. I intend to buy Smiffys FX Face Paint Palette Family Set worth about $23, Smiffys FX Face Paint retractable crayon set worth around $8, Smiffys fake skin makeup at about $5 and Smiffys face paint brush set worth approximately $10. With these high quality tools I will be able to offer face painting services that children can easily compare to what they see in movies. This will be an entirely different level and hopefully I will be able to increase profit from face painting section by close to 70% and this way I will be able to re-buy the needed products from the profits. This will help me enhance my creativity skills as well as probably permanently employ someone.
