About Me

My name is Alex, i come from Nairobi and I run several barbershops all located within the town.

My Business

In my barbershop, i offer services such as shaving, head massage, facial therapy, pedicure manicure hair removal, e.t.c. the better the services offered in a barbershop the more clients the barbershop is likely to attract more customers. i would like to purchase massage equipment so that i can be able to enhance my services to my clients. my clients prefer my services since my charges are fair and i insist that my staff are well qualified and perform to their level best. my monthly costs are averagely Kshs 25,000 that is premises rent, staff salaries, electricity &water charges.my average profit is Kshs20,000. My income from the barbershop will assist me in repaying the loan.

Loan Proposal

I am going to use the loan in purchasing barbershop equipment to improve my business. i would like to purchase massage equipment so that i can be able to enhance my services to my clients. my clients prefer my services since my charges are fair and i insist that my staff are well qualified and perform to their level best.

    Recently I have been doing some intense research on a product line i intend to venture in,.. i will tell you that so far i have seen unlimited opportunities in the market for the product and many ideas to implement on the same. thing is,.. initially i would be rather scared of even thinking on something new to start especially if it required finance,..but today i can comfortably allow my mind to go creative on the idea and not on the sources of my finance...Why you ask,..? i have faith and a shoulder to lean on in Zidisha P to P. Shukran.

    Hi Zidisha Family,
    I called Alex Saruni on 24th of May 2014. Unfortunately all my phone went unanswered. He letter during the day sent me a text message and I want to quote," Hi sorry I was in a noisy matatu. I posted a comment and explained to pay my loan this end month. Thanks and have a great weekend."
    will remind him come the time.

    Thanks
    David Oyula Vm Kenya.

    Mr. Saruni,

    I believe you invited Mr. Paul Ndunda to join Zidisha. I helped fund him back in late January.

    He has not made a single repayment on his loan nor has he responded to my inquiries. Mr. Ndunda is now nearly 9 weeks in arrears for a total of $39.

    Could you please stress the importance of paying his lenders? Lenders are generally very flexible and understanding, but only when they are kept informed.

    Thanks,
    Cris

    Mr. Saruni,


    How are you doing? I would like to ask you for an update on your situation. The second and last installment of your loan will come due on March 20 and, unfortunately, you have not yet made payment on the installment that was due on Feb. 20. Would you like to reschedule your loan? Please give us an update.


    Thank you,
    Cris

    Hi, my business has taken a rather slower rate to stabilise due to the introduction of new charges by the municipal, also my second change in location has also challenged my clients flow. all the same i will appreciate repaying the loan with much ease with the change in instalment amount.
    much thanks Cris.

    Hi Zidisha team,.i wish to reschedule my loan to end of this month 30th November 2013. this is due to a problem that occurred at my business location and we had to move out and allow renovations of the premises and my new location has not been fast in picking up and also my relocating costs were so high. I commit my self to pay the amount by the end of this month.
    much thanks
    A. Saruni.

    Hi Zidisha,. I humbly wish to reschedule my loan to Nov 12 2013 since at the moment i am a little bit tight financially. there are some items i have purchased as i am looking forward to opening another business and as a result i am financially squeezed. Should I be flexible and make some alternative income before the stated date, I shall not hesitate to pay my past due instalment. much thanks Zidisha team and God bless you.

    The funny man Bill Cosby once said that.. In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure... i understood it this way,.. if i really want to become successful in life,..be it business, family, friends, sports,..u name it,.. i must be extremely willing to go the distance without fear of loosing what i already have, If i want to run a business, i should fear less what people might say should i fail or should my business perform far less attractively than what i had anticipated and be willing to risk my all in order to get that which i direly crave for,...SUCCESS..
