About Me

Hello lenders, I am Kevin Nyachihi. I am a diploma holder in Business Information Technology.
I run a computer and cyber café in Karatina Town. My day to day activities at the shop include: Sales and service of computer parts, stationaries sales, general printing, graphic designs and online service like applying for government permits, travel visas, online job application among others.
I am also a follower of Christian faith. I am also involved in social works in the community that I serve like helping the old and vulnerable people in the society.

My Business

I am running a computer and accessories enterprise accompanied with printing and photocopying activities under the name Jelani Technologies. My business is located at Karatina Market Mall Building adjacent to Post Bank Kenya.
Computer and Accessories entails selling ex-uk laptops and desktops computers among other computer accompaniments like chargers, power cables, hard discs etc.
Printing and Photocopying involves walk-ins’ officials and college and university students who come for printing, scanning and photocopying their documents.
My customer base includes clients with official purposes like payslips, license renewals, income tax returns, visa and passport applications, vehicle registrations and transfers among others. While I offer university students services like Higher Education Loans Board application, online students registration and printing services.

Loan Proposal

Lately in our area we have been experiencing power outages which have affected our business and our farming. Lately I bought an incubator so that I could sell chick to upcoming farmers, when the lights goes off it can withstand for 48hours (2days) from there if the power is not back i happen to loose many of my fertilized eggs. The last time there was a power blackout, a week ago I lost 240eggs which was a big loss to a startup. The generator will also help me worm my breeders and leave the old ways of using tin with charcoals (makeshift Jikos) which sometimes causes death to some of the chicks due to burns. Using this Jiko is also dangerous because if the charcoal falls on the sawdust which we normally use as bedding's it can cause fire and burn the whole place.
I am seeking a loan facility of Kes19,000 to purchase a generator which cost Kes59,999 of which the balance i will use personal savings

Regards

      Thank you for lending. However, I have only accumulated a small fraction of the money I needed, this will not serve the purpose I intended it to do.
      Hope is not lost am still going to publish a new loan application.
      Thank you be blessed.

    Due to the forthcoming elections business has been low thus reducing the profit.

    After the general election I will go shop for the color printer. This printer will help me save on time and also increase my profit. Thank you for making it happen. May the almighty bless you and your family abundantly
