About Me

I am a trained IT specialist currently running a private IT firm, Gommy Technologies. I am single 24 year old man and leaving in Nairobi.I live i Kahawa Wendani, Cabro estate along the Thika superhighway, I live alone. I started my business to tap into the unexploited business opportunities in my area. this is because the area has a shortage of skilled labor services in the IT sector with most firms concentrating on the the high end market. I use the proceeds from my business to fund its expansion. I want the business to be the national IT leader.

My Business

I run an IT business called Gommy Technologies. The firm's main business areas is Network design, implementation and maintenance.Computer repairs and servicing, Software sales and installations and computer and computer accessories sales. The company mostly deals with schools. dealing with schools gives the Firm a competitive edge since the schools have high demand for IT services and there are high volumes of sales involved. Schools have a wide range of IT needs, it is therefore easy to provide to them more than one goods and services to them from our spectrum. Our continuous relationship is helping the business get more referals and repeat clientale. this coupled with our robust marketing strategy in schools has ensured the firm's continuous growth.

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan to buy 1 network router and 2 dlink network switches. I have already bought a roll of CAT 5 network cable. I have an order to design and install a network as well as set up the computers and other accessories to connect to the in Computer lab for a Primary School in Kiambu County. Immediately I get to buy the router and switches I will proceed to finish up the work and invoice the school awaiting payment.

    Mr. Omangi
    We have no repayments since the very small one in February. Surely your IT business is going well enough to allow you to make some repayments. I am sure that you want to retain confidence in you, with its benefits.

    Zidisha,

    Here's another loan that was nearly wiped out due to rescheduling. This cannot keep on happening. Please fix this bug in your system. This is probably the 4th or 5th loan I bring to your attention. What is the delay in fixing this problem?

    The School (Client) drew me a cheque of the total amount but when I went to cash it, It bounced since the school did not have enough funds its bank account. I am now working on the other alternatives of paying the loan while I pursue the school for the payment. I am so sorry about the late rescheduling, I had done a reschedule before the deadline for the first payment but I just realized that it never went through because I had not made any payment. I am working and doing my best to ensure that I get the total owed amount in the quickest time possible. Thank you my lenders for the patience. I am sorry again!

    Mr. Omangi,

    You are nearly 3 months past due or, viewed differently, you are behind for the full amount of the loan. I left you a message 11 days ago and have not yet received a response.

    Please let us know what is going on.

    Thanks,
    Cris

I have been Informed that he will do the signing on the Tuesday of 24th January 2013.Am really sorry for the delay.

      Hello Geoffrey,
      It sounds as though the project at the school is going well. I do understand that it can sometimes take extra time when an invoice is being processed.
      Thanks for the update!
