About Me

I have been in the television, film and production industry for about 12 years. During this time, I have produced several albums of various artists in Kenya. My experience has spread through the years, for I have also been involved in production of television commercials. I am a professional video and audio editor. I have personally edited a bread television commercial which has aired in local television stations across Kenya.

I believe that my experience in the production service, allows me to provide a large number of people in need of audio visual services. My portfolio is fair enough that's why I decided to venture in starting my own business to cater for the needs of my community .

My dream is to have a big production company in the near future, so that I can bring quality in the industry. I continue to learn about new technologies in my industry and I always apply the best methods in my business. I am an avid student.

My hobbies including making music, making documentaries and short films, and travelling.

My Business

I am in the production industry ( film and audio) and I intend to grow my business. Currently my business has expanded in terms of services I provide. I earn monthly income from different clients, and I also have regular ones.

Production in general has high probability for income generation. This includes video coverage, video editing, camera hire, Lights hire, etc. Equipment hire is part of income generation.

If given the loan, I will use it to buy video camera sound for the purposes of creating content. This professional film sound will enable me to produce content and sell it in our local media. I already purchased a DSLR high-end camera for the same purpose.

Content is king, and that is why I am seeking for a loan for this purpose and also for expansion.

This loan will greatly help me in the path of achieving my dreams. I will greatly appreciate any help offered.

Loan Proposal

I am currently looking for funds to expand my business. Knowing this, i am seeking for funds to repair my damaged mixer for my business to continue. The cost of repairing my damaged mixer is 10 dollars. This is only the beginning for i intend to do a complete overhaul in the future by buying new equipment.
Repairing my broken mixer will allow me to continue serving my clients, and hence make money.
This of course, is for my business to continue. I expect my profit to increase as my intentions is to serve my customers without unexpected failures of my equipments.

    Dear Zidisha Team,

    I have talked to Joseph and he says he has been undergoing a financial constraint for some time now. However he will adjust his repayment schedule and try his best to put into his account some money.

    Thank you.

    The loan will help me buy sound equipment for film. I will add what I already have to purchase the equipment. This will help me in doing documentaries and news coverage for my website project. Thanks for helping me achieve my goal.
