Loan Proposal

i run a personal business as a sole proprietor. i run a business of making attire from fabric such as ankara, lace and more. i make items such as fabric made shoes, clutch bags, hand bags, belts, dresses, jackets and more. customers prefer my items as i am unique and creative. of course there is competition but i work with models who promote my fashion designs. i need the loan to get lots of fabric from outside the country like in congo and also to make a website and flyers to reach a larger customer base.
this loan will benefit me in that, i will get to market my business to a wider range of people. it will also help me create a few more jobs. more fabric means more work to do thus more tailors and designers needed.
i will appreciate any help to raise about usd 150. this will be enough to ask for fabric from kampala and also get a website
i will repay the loan with an interest of 10%

    i dont have enough funds yet to start paying a huge amount at one go. business is quite slow but am hopeful for the better in the near future. as at the moment, i need to work on getting more clientele first before rescheduling to a bigger amount.
    so far i am still getting clients plus i need to source one more person as an employee to help me through my projects to enable me get more daily , weekly and monthly sales.

    I just got the loan the other day. Haven't done much with the cash yet. Am reschedulling to 500 because it is what I will be able to raise as I try to fix business. Need to get the money working before it generates profit enough for me to pay for my loan. So for now, am only able to pay upto ksh500
