My Business

From the cows i sell milk to my neighbors and the community.because of the locality we are in there is big demand of milk in the machine cut quarries for the workers.During dry season milk production reduces and therefore i have to struggle to look for hey . i get a hard time because there is no transport to collect hey from far where its available. otherwise it is profitable when well maintained.A lit re goes for Kenya shillings thirty,so i make Kenya shillings one thousands five hundred in a day and in a month i do make a cool Kenya shillings fort five thousands .expenses is about Kenya shillings twenty one thousands The balance of Kenya shillings can be used to pay back my lenders.Also my customers or many people prefer or come for my business or milk because i do talk to them politely hence we become friends and therefore they do not let me down .The cows i keep are Frisian and i built a structure for them that is i practice zero grazing .I also built a milking pa lour where i take the cow there when the time of milking has reached .

Loan Proposal

Hello my dear lenders, I would like to first thank you all for your commitment and efforts to make my business better. With this loan I want to buy an additional dairy cow that will add more to my milk production. So with this loan i will use USD 400 . The remaining amount i will use to add more chicks to my newly started broiler (chicken for meat) business.With this additional dairy cow I will have boosted my income and this will enable me have a good position to repay my loan. Thank you so much once again for your assistance and my God bless you all.
