About Me
my name is lauryne gathoni born and raised in muranga went to school in the county but due to financial constraints could not join college.After high school in 2008 got a job as mpesa agent in ongata rongai where I worked for 2 year's saved some money which I used to set up a small cereals shop in ongata rongai.my has been up and down since I use some of the profit to educate my kid's who are in class two.it been a tough journey but I thank the zidisha family which has been very supportive of me since I joined them.Their affordable loans has gone far in supporting my business.
I started small but my business has grown over years.
My Business
I started by selling small cereals but my business has grown up to a point where I have started taking school orders. my business has been generating some profit which I'm able to pay rent ,add stock,pay fees for my kid's.cereals business has challenges like any other business especially when the harvest are not good from the farms Price's go so high and I time's I find myself not able to deliver to my customers.
Loan Proposal
I want to rent a shop where I will be able to attend to my customers with ease, as carrying around the rice on my back is cumbersome.
The shop rent goes for $109.89, I would like to pay for a three months rent plus a deposit of one month which will be $ 439.56 the rice I sell I get it with at $ 1.15 and sell it at $ 1.42 where I make a profit of $ 0.27, I would also like to buy the rice in bulk so that I get a lower buying price but due to insufficient funds I am not able to buy in bulk. I would like to buy a stock worth $ 346.15 where ill make a profit of $ 82.41, to transport it will cost $ 27.47, to get a business license will cost $ 87.91 with this capital in place I will be in a position to start the business and pay my loan in time. In total I need roughly $ 802.19. I look forward for assistance from the Zidisha team
Thank you in advance
