With the injection of some capital from the Zidisha Microfinance,I am planning to extend my business by buying 2 more computers so as to cater more customers in a go without much waiting. This will make my small business to grow more and also I will be extending the operating hours due to the flocking of customers for the services .This will increase my weekly income and also tap the ever growing demand of cyber skyping services, which most of my competitors within don’t
provide to their customers due to lack of facilities to cater the accessories. Thank you in advance for the support.
