I am a male Kenyan aged 27 years who has a passion for business. I completed high school back in 2004 and later proceeded to college where I pursued a Diploma in Journalism and Media Studies this was in mid 2005 to December 2007after which I proceeded on with my studies and did a short diploma course in 3D Graphic Design and Media Art studies. I never got employed immediately but that did not deter me from wanting to continue flying my dreams high. In 2008, after completion of my Graphics diploma, I approached my family to lend me some money as capital to start a Cyber cafe (Marvel Cyber cafe). I managed the Cyber for 3 consecutive years, the business was doing fine. I also got the chance to put into practice as well as sharpening the skills I had acquired while in College.In 2011 I got employed but did last long, as I preferred self employment more than being employed. I quit the job and went back to self employment in 2013 and that's when I started the second hand clothes business as well as sale of new shoes, which until now is running well. I am currently dealing with ladies wear which includes; ladies jackets, skirts, trousers, blouses and also shoes (new shoes).
I have realized that I need much capital so that I am able to run it so as to meet customers wear demands. Most of my customers prefer my business, according to what they tell me. I sell to them unique wears and they would prefer buying the second hand classy wears as they are durable way far compared to new ones. From what I earn, I will be able to buy more stock, cater for my personal expenses as well as paying rent. If I am able to secure a loan from you (Zidisha), It will help me expand my business as well as help me repay the loan with the earnings.
I need the capital so as to meet customers wear demands. I have a high demand for ladies wear which includes shoes, both fancy and official tops (blouses) and also both official skirts and trousers and ladies coats plus accessories. Once I get the loan, I will be able to purchase more of the above named items so as to meet my daily customer's interests thus helping me grow and expand business wise.
