About Me
I am a gentleman born in 1982. I completed my secondary education in the year 2002 and gained a grade of B plain i.e., 53% points. Later, I joined Strathmore University to pursue my accounting course and completed up to C.P.A. section 4 where I dropped out due to financial problems. Fortunately, I got employed in 2008 in a transport company called Benjo (k) Limited as an accountant. I am married and blessed with two children, one in 2012 and other one in 2016. From my little savings in my employment, with the help of my wife, I was able to start a motorcycle spare parts shop in a small 10x10 Ft squire metallic container in an estate called Makongeni in Thika town.
My Business
I started my business in the year 2012 with the help of my wife who runs it even today. I got the capital from my small savings of KShs 115,000 whereby I paid advance rent of 3 months of KShs 7,500, i.e., KShs 2,500 per month. I paid for my business license of KShs 5000. We were able to acquire a stock worth KShs 101,000 and paid transport (carriage inwards) of KShs 1,500. Despite the competition and economic inflation, our business has reported growth because the business is able to cater for our 50% of our needs and still be able to add more stock. Stock valuation done in November 2014 is worth KShs 148,000. This makes me proud for the next one year I see myself as a wholesaler, one year down the line as a big importer of the spares. It has been my dream in future to be a big successful businessman.
Loan Proposal
Hello Zidisha. First, I wish to thank you for your continued financial support. When funded, I am planning to increase my stock which will last a bit longer to decrease my cost of making so many trips to Uganda for purchases. Currently, I have been travelling twice a month and my wish is to reduce that to no more than once per month. God bless you as you purpose to fund me.
