My Business
Having acquired a diploma in electrical and electronic engineering, am willing and ready to start up on a new business idea in Gilgil Town, mainly because Gilgil is a town with two barracks comprising of young youths who are purchasing electronics of a high living standard which needs to be repaired on and off. In addition,National Youth Service college,hence the high population of people around are young people who embrace the technology including the electronics.The more the electronics the more the repair needed. Am also planing to buy and sell electronics spare parts to the surrounding community.AM confident that this business will add more value in my life and take me to the next level.Thanks in advance.
Loan Proposal
with this loan am planning on repairing and servicing of home appliances and since there is a high demand for these good within the locality they can make good sales,also the spare parts are readily available at a lower price,having acquired a diploma is a higher advantage to beat the competitors in this town.The advantage that i have is that my place is situated at a strategic place accessible from all corners of our town,
