My Business
i have small shop in front of my house where i sell groceries.i have had the shop for years.the items i sell in my shop are bread,milk,sugar,soap,lotions,biscuits and juice.i order these items in wholesale shops in town.sugar i order at $24 a case of 20 packets and i sell at $260 a case of 24 packets.bread i order a loaf at 7cents a loaf and i sell at $1 a loaf.milk i order at $6 a case then i sell at $8 a case.these items are marketable bacause my area is a bit far from town so people come to my shop alot.So far my shop has improved a lot since my last loan taken from zidisha.im very grateful because this business is helping me take care of my family.i have expanded my shop and i still want to expand it.am still applying for another loan because im interested in growing my business.With the profits i made from my last loan i was even able to help fund my daughters wedding.My husband and i have embarked on a building project.We are building a small house behind our main house to put up for rent.
Loan Proposal
when i get the loan i will use the money to buy a deep freezer which will cost me $260. i need the freezer to be puting drinks as well as fresh foods like meat,fish,chicken ans sausages.i sell these things in my shop and the small fridge i have is not enough.Then i will use $80 to buy grocery for my shop.the freezer will really boost my business especially now that it is hot and my customers will be able to buy cold drinks and relish as well.i expect my profits to increase because of the freezer il buy.
