My Business

My business is `Boda-boda'with this business involves rendering a service by taking people by mortorbike from one place to another.There is a high demand of this service because this is a fast means of transport and that it can penetrate through small routes and that its a none stop transport means.My customers prefer my business that im ever ready and a faithfully servant.The business is profitable in that I can get ksh:1500/= by using two and ahalf liters of fuel-which is ksh:300/= and the risks that face my business are lack of funds for repair and fast aid kit for emergence.My monthly income is ksh:36000/= and my monthly expenditure is ksh:20000/= and my profit is ksh:16000/= of which I can repay a ny loan given by Zidisha without any problem.

Loan Proposal
