About Me

I am a young entrepreneur who has engaged in the business since i was in high school and business is my passion. I always loved doing business deals even at a tender age. Having been brought up by a single parent i always had to look for ways to survive in this harsh economic times. I was lucky to go to the university and acquired a degree in finance and economics.
While in university i did several businesses and finally settled for clothes sale which i got an upper hand since i got a reliable supplier who brought me very unique clothes and also got loyal customers who came again and again and also referred others as well.
Having been so passionate about business i always new that this was my line of profession even after graduating and that's what even today i do.

My Business

My business involves selling of both clothes and shoes. Most of my products are imports from china turkey UK and USA as well as Dubai. I have been in this business now for the past 4 years and have been able to establish a reliable customer base.
In my line of work it entails selling new clothes and shoes. Advertising is part of this business and it has to be consistence. In this generation we taking the business to the customer where a customer orders for a product lets say a pair of shoes then we deliver to them to their convenient place.
The costs involved in this business includes paying or council fees, rent of shop, delivery services, payment of my two workers as well as electricity.
The main revenue is acquired after the clothes or shoes are sold.
This business is there to last and the reason i chose it that customers will always be there since clothing is a basic commodity and we cannot leave without it hence demand is always available.

Loan Proposal

I currently am running a rice business where I get pure pishori rice directly from mwea and supply it to clients within Nairobi and its environments. I have been in the business for about 1 year now and is looking to expand it more. This business currently gives me a profit of around 5000ksh monthly. with a limitation of capital I have I am looking for extra funds to expand my stock and be in a position to make more income with an increase in stock. this amount will ensure that I can at least hit more than 10,000ksh monthly thus paying up the loan and at the same time maintaining a growth in my business will be possible. Am looking forward to your support in this quest to expand my business. your support will be greatly appreciated.

    I wish to change the amount i pay to a smaller amount sincce this period in our country the sales are low and the profits i make to the business thus decrease. am however reducing this amount just for a whil and will raiise it back to a higher amount on a later date.

    I have a strain in making my payments since my business has suffered some unexpected loss due to thieves breaking in and stealing my stock but am recovering well and hope to recover soon to get back up. I bought stock for my business and my business was going on well up until last week when my business premises was broken into and most of my stock stolen. I have however moved on to a more secure location where i am slowly starting to recover from that loss that is why i am requesting for a reduction in installments down until when i will be well off again.

    Dear Mr. Mugambi and Lenders,

    Due to concerns by lenders regarding the allegations of Telexfree as a Ponzi scheme, we have chosen to expire the fundraising of this loan so that lenders who want to cancel their bids are able to do so. If you are a lender who would still like to contribute toward Mr. Mugambi's loan, please resubmit a bid once he creates a new loan application.

    Thank you,
    Bayle, Zidisha Team

    Hello Evans Mugambi, is 'telex free' the same as Telexfree Inc.? Telexfree Inc. is under investigation for operating a Ponzi scheme en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telex...

      telex free is a legit business. the only problem with people is they get skeptical when a program or business offers good terms to make you money. AM glad for those who have chose to fund my idea and project, i will be glad if I got a full finance to enable me be able to improve my current status as well
