I have established a retail shop. this shop deals with retailing of agrochemicals. i serve farmers around my local area and wish to expand to a bigger market segment. I speak in Swahili, English and Kimeru (a local Kenyan tribe).

I thank God for the success he has given me in terms of getting regular customers . It is my aim to also come out as a successful agro chemical supplier both locally and internationally.

My Business

I am in the agro chemicals business where I am retailing the chemicals to the local farmers and agricultural societies. I earn regular income earner from my sales representative employment. . If given the loan, I will use it to purchase more stock to my retail shop so that I can move to the next phase. I strongly believe that this assistance will help me to expand my retail shop business and reach more farmers. I will keep you informed on the progress of my venture.

Loan Proposal

    Thank you lenders for coming in handy at my time of need. I will buy the items I indicated at my time of my application and hope this time round I will meet all my obligation on time.
    I believe this is the most convenient way of helping the less privileged to make their drams come true.
    Thanks lenders and the entire Zidisha team.

    Hi Sebastian,
    I notice that your repayments have fallen behind schedule.
    Could I suggest that you reschedule your repayments?
    Keeping your On Time Repayment Score as high as possible will have a large impact on your ability to take further loans.
    All the best

      Sebastian, Is there some reason why you have not updated your repayment schedule?

  • Sebastian    Apr 7, 2015

    There was an error when I posted the loan. I did not mean to repay the installments of KES100 as it turned out. However I will be comfortable repaying as per the new installment schedule.

    Dear Lenders
    Thank you for lending me the amount requested within a very short time. the money was very useful in that I had to make the required repairs to my car which I am now using to make my deliveries much faster and easier.
    I am looking forward to qualify for a bigger loan to make further improvement to my business.
    Thank you lenders and the entire Zidisha team.

    Dear Michael
    I did not choose to repay at the rate of KES100.00 per week. Infact I chose to repay at the rate of KES500.00 per week payable every Saturday. I do not know how it came to KES100.00. Please have the weekly repayment amount to read KES500.00 payable every Saturday of the week.
    Thanks Zidisha Team

      Hi Sebastian,
      I think the easiest way is to change how much you would like to pay is to make a "Repayment Schedule Change".
      Although I am not sure how it is actually done, I believe you can just change the frequency and amounts of your payments online.
      If its not that easy to understand, perhaps talk to your VM or email [email protected].
      Regards
      Michael

    Hello Michael
    Thank you for your concern. I am much better now except for the aftermath of an illness. Am recovering faster than I expected and am up and about again trying to regain the lost time.
    I am disappointed I could not meet the 90% repayment level to increase my borrowing capacity to a higher figure to boost the business farther. Otherwise I am great to all.

      Hi Sebastian,
      Glad to hear that you are feeling better.
      It must be disappointing to not be able to increase your loan size.
      I had a look at your numbers, to raise your On time Repayment Score to 90% would require 33 more on-time payments.
      That is a bit shorter than the ten month term that you have chosen.
      I know its not always easy to stick to a plan, especially when illness strikes, but if you can keep the payment schedules you will reach your goal.
      All the best
      Michael

    Thanks my mentor for vouching for me. I surely did not mean to be late with my payment but was unwell for a week. I'll strive to be on time in future. Thanks Zidisha Team for your patience.
