My Business

As i have mentioned above i started my, business with a capital of 7000/- and by buying 100 chicks at 100/- and the rest 6000/- i bought feeds,medicines and water and at the end when i sell the broilers i would make 40,000/- minus the expenses i would remain with 25,000/-.Because of the ready market in Kisumu town hotels and in Luanda town i am being forced to increase my stock because i want to start keeping 300 broilers chicks,and all i need is to buy incubator machines which costs 30,000/- and also to increase the electricity supply in the poultry house which cost 10,000/- and food and maintenance will cost me 20,000/-,also i want to expand the room which will cost me 5000/- and the total comes to around kes 65,000.for now i don't have that much and my customers are pressurizing me they need more broilers.it also take short time to mature and many people buy the broilers because they are cheap so market is ready.the risk of my business is very low because i am always there watching over them day and night.therefore when i sell the 300 broilers at the end i will be making kes 120,000 making a profit of kes 55,000 a month and this will help me grow fast and boost my business also internationally.therefore help me with your loan and let me live what i have been dreaming since my childhood.thank you zidisha
