Entrepreneur

About Me

I am 30 years old married with one child.
I was born in Nairobi.
I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur and have previously sold mobile phones before venturing out into textiles where I saw a big gap unlike the mobile phone business which was saturated and dominated by big players.
I have a bachelor of commerce degree majoring in marketing.
I love travelling and learning new cultures.
I am also an ardent sports fan and regularly attend sporting events all over the country.

I aim to grow my business into a big online retail business and expand my product offerings.

My Business

I sell bedroom textiles. These are duvets, duvet covers, pillows,bed sheets, curtains and rugs.
I am based in hurlingum nairobi.
I market my product through my facebook page "Style My bedroom"
The link to my page: www.facebook.com/stylemybedroom
I have over 54000 fans on my page.
I have been in this business for over 2 years now.
I import the beddings from United Kingdom and sell in Nairobi.
I make home and office deliveries to customers via a courier.
My average revenues per month are $1388.
My typical costs are :
$ 40 on Facebook Advertisement
$600 on purchasing stock
$255 on shipping, logistics and customs
$77 on rent for my small office
My profits are on average 30% of my revenues £416.
I use majority of the profits on home improvements, i also re -invest part of the profits.

Loan Proposal

I would like to grow my inventory to meet demand for my products.
Currently demand outstrips supply and I would like to bridge this gap overtime so as to be able to satisfy my customers needs.

When I advertise on facebook demand usually exceeds supply and would want to ensure I have enough stock to meet this demand.

I usually sell out each consignment of stock within 15 working days.

My business is currently on a growth stage and the loan would help me meet growing demand for my products.
