Project Proposal
With this facility I will pay my gypsum supplier. A ton of gypsum is going at KES 1,000 and transported at KES 1,400 thus a total of KES 2,400. A 30 ton truck of gypsum would cost KES 72,000. This Loan will therefore pay for a full truck.
Each ton makes KES 400 at the factory thus making a total of KES 15,000 which can be done four times within the facility period.
Once ploughed back into the business this facility will help grow the capital base and consequently profit
