My Business

my business involves selling beans,rice,kapenta and dry fish.The money that iv been getting at MTN as an agent is not enough for me and my family so i decided that as i work,i do business as well.i have a small stand in town opposite finance bank where i sell my merchandise.my young sister helps me to sell during week days and i sell on weekends when im not working.i normally order my rice and beans from lusaka.the dry fish i get it from sinazongwe as well as the kapenta.most of my clients are those that live on the outskirts of choma because they like buying dry foods which cannot go bad even where there are no fridges in the rural areas.the money i make i help my husband with house rent as well as food and other basic needs for out children,right now i would like to rent a shop because the place im operating from is not conducive.i paid for a shop for three months therefore i do not have enough money to buy the things for selling.my friends told me about zidisha and i decided to apply.this time i would like to also start selling fresh fish so im thinking of buying a deep freezer wher il be putting the fish.im still applying for a loan because i havent yet finished paying for the fridge.

Loan Proposal

since the loan amount isnt much il use this ZMW53 to get two particle bodies to make a shelves for my items in the shop.the particle bodies are ZMW25 each.I will then get whatever amount of rice,beans and dry fish with the money i have.then next time il request for a larger loan from zidisha,so that i can expand my business
