My Business

my business is based in Nairobi gikomba market.I operate mainly with shoe and clothing sales.
i basically buy secondhand shoes and cloths and resell them to get profit.
i hawk the cloths around Nairobi city and also i have put up a shop for displaying the shoes near where i live.
the business has been going well in the past years.
i was introduced to zidisha by a friend who is now doing better due to the help he has gotten. and i felt that i should join zidisha and share about my business and grow together withe rest of the world.

Loan Proposal

my application for a loan is to increase stock mainly my collection of shoes.
i intend to to take advantage of the rainy season where people buy more shoes.
the stock i require is $200 to purchase a mutumba bale.
with this i will be able to get gumboots that i will sell for profit.
