About Me

I am a twenty six year old male Kenyan Citizen. I am the first born in a family of two. I have a sister in high school, form three this year. Her name is Susan Njeri.

My Business

I deal in selling ladies shoes. I get them at a very cheap price in Eastleigh, Nairobi. At the time I start selling them, its when people are from their places of work. Rush hour. As people drive or walk home, especially ladies have a tendency to walk while window shopping and consequently buy what pleases them. Knowing this, I decided to target them. I stock a wide variety of shoes to suit every woman's needs. With my accounting and customer service background, I am able lure my customers to buying and coming along with friends. Apart from that, I ensure that a customer gets a commodity worth his money or bargain. The business is indeed profitable as just a pair minimum can fetch Ksh. 400 in profit on the lower side. The risks involved in the business is in-case it rains, before one could collect all the shoes on the floor, they could get rained on and spoil.

Loan Proposal

I thank you zidisha community for the great and good work you have been doing, i am so privilleged to be given another chance to post my second loan, my business is growing day by day & am happy about it progress. Am humbly requesting to be funded with 30100ksh. I will use approximately 20,000ksh to purchase high hill and wedged lady shoes which are usually on high demand the cost estimate of this shoes is 600 thus i will increase my stock with about 33 pairs. Am expecting to sell a pair of the shoes atleast 1200. The other 10,100 shillings i will use it to buy children shoes, which normally go for 400ksh per pair and am expecting to sell it at 100% profit. I believe they are also going to have a high turnover during this festive season. As for most kids in kenya they believe that a holiday is holiday if they are in new attirers and in new shoes. With this good timing of the season i believe i will be in a good position to pay back the loan even before the lapse of the three months set period.
Thanks in advance as you consider my request.
