Currently iam under taking my undergraduate degree in bachelors of science being a third year. I started my business after completion of my "O" level the year 2008.This was to ensure that i was not idle as i awaited to join university.The earnings of the business is majorly my source of pocket money while at campus,though i use a certain percentage to p lough back in the business.

Loan Proposal

i will use the loan awarded from zidisha to expand the floor area of my business,because its much congested.This will done through renting the adjacent door to the existing business.The approximated amount for the same is 10%of the loan applied for.Then 40% of the same will be used to increase the available stock,i.e phone batteries,covers andsome spares used by phone repair specialists.The remaning 50% will be used to purchase acomputer to introduce computing services like printing, typesetting and photocopying.This is because the area is having no such services and people have been asking of the services.this is one way of identifying a viablle business idea.
