About Me

I was born in a family of six being the fourth born.I have three brothers and two sisters,all my parents are still alive. My family and I are situated in a village called Chumani in Roka location in Kilifi county. Its along Mombasa Malindi highway. 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.

My Business

The name of my business is Chinzapa enterprises.it situated at Dzitsoni in Chonyi Division in Kilifi County along Mavueni Kaloleni Road.The business entirely deals with phone accessories. the mainly kind of goods dealt with a:phone batteries,covers and some spare parts. most people from the region prefer buying from my shop because it`s the nearest. the quality of goods and services provided by my solely employee is the key attraction of the customers.there is no much competition as the business enjoys monopoly in the region.the business is profitable as much of a goods dealt are relatively low wholesale priced. there is no much risk as the goods dealt with durable and long lasting. monthly sales Kshs 30,000 monthly expenses Kshs 12,000. profit kshs18,000.

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.

    the change in venue from dzitsoni to mtwapa affected me greately by the fact that i had to start looking for customers afresh. nevertheless, i had intended to start paying by may but another problem arose when i went back to school in nairobi,the person i left at the shop mis used almost all my float.when i came back expecting to pay she said she never new where the money was and promised to pay the begining of june which never happened making it hard for me to pay so i request for increment in grace period.

    I had a great problem with my landlord at the place i was operating from so i had to move to Mtwapa which is a new location. This made me make some loses in the recent months,also i sent seven thousand to a wrong number where the person withdrew the money and went off up to date. I was depositing this money to my number so that i could pay.PLEASE bear with me as i plan to start repaying on the proposed date. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

    Tanks to Zidisha fraternity ,for sure the loan helped to a great extent. But i had a problem with my landlord at the premises i initially occupied, that i had to transfer to another place i.e from Dzitasoni to Mwapa. I had a great challenge as i was in anew market this made delay in paying my loan due to the loss i got.But i thank God that am now getting into the market, with the same regards i have to uphold my gratitude to Zidisha ,because could it not be tho loan ,i could have closed down the business. In conjunction to that i promise to continue paying from where i left. God bless zidisha

    tanks to all lenders who made my loan a success one.I take this opportunity first to apologize for not posting about the progress off of my loan.This was because i was in school and i could not have been able to tell the outcome of the loan.But as i write am in my business premises and i tank God my customers are enjoying the reloaded services of Chinzapa Enterprises which is due to the loan from Zidisha.i now expect to start repaying without any problem to make Zidisha services succes.
