My Business

My business is a charcoal and firewood selling.The business is good and there is demand because in mtwapa has a high population and most people are middle class people and its expensive to afford the high prices of either cooking gas or kerosene thereby creating a demand for charcoal business.Most people buy from me because i buy in bulky and then sell in small quantities therefore enabling local middle class to be able to afford because my prices are reasonable and fair.Risks are that in security is high and at times thief steal the goods.I make around 2,500 shilings per day and thats 75,000 shillings per month.Dily expenses is about 500 shilings per day and that comes to 15,000 shillings per month.I buy in nwe stock worth 40,000 shillings every month.
