My Business

My business is that of making bricks and selling them to people building. I enjoy my business since the materials i need are locally available. My clients like the quality of my products and have referred their friends to me as clients. i enjoy my job since i makes good income that supports my family.

My challenge is paying for labor for the bricks, since i always need enough labor in brick making.

Loan Proposal

with the loan i will construct a second larger brick shade and hire 5 labourers to assist me with work. This will cost me about $550. Brick shade help in protecting the bricks from bad weather and the increased manpower of laborers will make my work to be fast thus making a lot of bricks for sale.
With these im guaranteed increased income which will improve my livelihood.
