About Me
I'm a Kenyan,from a humble background with 0' level education qualification,a young man with great dreams to transform the lives of other youths through self employment.Challenges are a great way to look for advancement opportunities thus every hurdle in life is checked on the lessons learn 't and possible solution which has been great to my decision making.Demand drives need and thus with the untapped opportunity in the horticulture industry was a key driver to establishing my fruit vending business.Currently my major challenge is finance a key motivator to achieving the end goal of self sustenance and communal development.As an entrepreneur and self driven I would wish to see the virtue of hard work,persistence and focus incorporated in my future generations.My locality is vulnerable to frequent perennial drought a major limitation to rain fed farming.I like socializing and an ardent football fan and always feel free to volunteer and give hope to anybody around me.
My Business
Fruits are essential in our health and supplements to other foods thus my service is to provide a consumer friendly fruit delivery and prices at all time.Quality of my goods is compromised due to the challenges in weather condition making them vulnerable to damages a loss derailing my goals.The revenue anticipated is quite low due to the challenges associated with maintenance of the quality of the fruits as they are perishable thus impacting on the customers satisfaction reducing the purchases of the fruit.Profits as key indicators of the input aides me with an opportunity to reinvest in the business with a long term goal to diverse on other businesses compatible with my current fruit business.
Loan Proposal

i will be able to extend shade and buy more chairs for my customers who will relax there will enjoying consuming their fruits and pudding.it will cost me approx $184.5 .
i expect my profits to double up.
