Loan Proposal

I will use the loan to finance my investment needs for purposes of expansion and creating room for more business. Part of it will be used to get more stock through imports & local purchases. I'll also create a website where people will be able to shop online, get to know the products offered as well as give personal reviews and comments. I'll also utilise some of the cash in advertising

    Grace paid her loan back early and it has been a pleasure to help in a small way in furthering her business venture. Would certainly invest again.
