About Me

I am married with two children, one is schooling. I live in Kiptangwanyi shopping centre which is about 42 km from Nakuru town which is our major town. I live in my own plot which is plot number 52. I run a business of computer services. This is where I earn my basic needs and that of the family. The business entails photocopying, typesetting, printing, lamination, scanning documents and other computer services.

My Business

My business entails computer services that I offer to dwellers within the shopping centre. I started this business in 2007 when electricity reached this place. Many of us used to go to Nakuru town for these services. This is when I realized that there is a high opportunity that I could tap. The business has a high demand because these services are needed daily and it is expensive to travel to Nakuru to get these services. The main challenges that the business face are high electricity costs, power rationing.

Loan Proposal

I would like to buy a photo printing machine and a camera. There is very high demand for these services especially the passports which force many people to search for these services far away. I would therefore like to tap this opportunity.

    Dear lenders, my business has not been performing well. Also, in April this year, my younger son was diagnosed with Brain Cyst problem and as such, he requires Kshs.500,000 for the operation. I beg for time as I try to address this problem. Thanks

    The reason for changing the installment is because of the nature of my business at the moment.

I there fore do wish to adjust my monthly repayment.

    I hope that you are doing well. I am doing well too. I have not been able to be sending my weekly repayments. This has been due to my business not doing well. The past few months have been very challenging in my business. Th income has been declining in my business. I am still struggling to make ends meet but i do hope that things will be back on track.

    Dear lenders,
    I hope you are all doing well and thus I take this opportunity to reschedule my loan repayment. I am still working to improve my business which has been doing so badly. The income has been so low and this has prompted in my late repayment of my loan. Therefore am hoping that things will improve and I will be in a position to resume my repayment well on time.

    Dear Lenders,
    It is yet another month that I am rescheduling my loan repayment. This is as a result of the worsening situation here as things have not improved. I am so much willing to resume my repayment but I have been unable to due to reduced income from the business. I am however still positive that things will change for the better.

    Dear lenders,
    It is my hope that you have started the year well the year 2015. We are doing fine and have started the year well. The business is still facing some financial challenges as two of my printers broke down. I am currently repairing them and my computer shop remains closed for the past three weeks. This has rendered me to be in a position where I am not able to repay my monthly instalment for this month. I hope things well resume to normal soon.

    Dear lenders.
    I hope you have al celebrated christmas well. It has been nice for us here in the village as visitors trooped in from towns to come an share the joy of christmas with us. I have not been in a position to send my monthly repayments for the last two months. This has largely been attributed to underperformance by the business resulting in declining of my income. I am however hoping for an improved situation coming next year. Thanks and Merry christmas and happy new year to you all.
