About Me
Am a young Kenyan woman living in Nairobi and with great ambitions,dreams and set goals. I am happy to report I finally graduated from campus in December 2014. My small business is currently taking care of most of my rent and house bills now that am out of college.
I started engaging in serious business from first year (2010/2011) to date. I have a passion for business and the success of that business.
The income I have been getting has helped sustain me in campus by catering for pocket money,bills and other basics. The need to earn and be independent drove me to start business while still in school and at a young age. I use my income to cater for personal needs and also for buying products for sale to clients.
With the current rate of unemployment even with higher level education, engaging in businesses is the way to go to ensure we make a living.
My Business
I have registered my small company under a sole proprietorship with hopes for expansion in Future. The business involves sale and supply of IT products and office supplies. I have actively engaged in sale and supply of computer and computer accessories, cartridges, office stationery and by order I sell laptops,tablets, power banks,printers and other office consumables.
I sell the products in retail for now due to lack of enough funds. I share a stall/shop with a friend in the CBD to enhance physical location of the business where new clients can be directed to for consultation and other purposes.
I hope to open my own shop with time and stock it well. I have loyal clients who call to make orders. My timely delivery of products, competitive prices and good customer relations enable my business to compete favorably in the market. The income I get will enable me repay the loan in time.
A loan will help me when it comes to sourcing for products on a client's demand when need arises.
I appeal to Lenders to help me achieve my set goals for making this business bigger, better and more profitable. The area my business deals in will always be marketable as people will always want IT products and the offices will always need the supplies and consumables. I try as much as possible to sell whats trending in the market to ensure I compete favorably.
Loan Proposal
Dear Lenders,
It has been a long time since I asked for a loan. With the Covid situation, my business took a huge hit and we had to close down the shop and start operating from home whenever orders come through.
I am now working from home and I have recently got the idea of design, branding and printing to add to my usual consumables sales.
I am requesting funds to enable me pay for materials when I design for someone thinks like t-shirts, mugs, cards, banners etc. With the help of my younger sister we are able to design and the funds will assist us get branding material and also take the products for printing.
Please be part of this great idea as it is marketable and it will take us a long way.
Thank you very much.
