My Business

Yah i love talking about my business because i love it.It started from scratch i mean no starting capital but client and no equipment but my hands .No beauty product but a bottle of massage oil and my own beauty product for personal use
I started by hiring a small space in a hotel in Miliman then i was an employee of a hotel that was known then as Heron court
The place where i use to hire small space was near by walking distance form my work and home so there was no transport cost.
Started with my friend and slowly client i use to attend to at sauna at my place of work would then come to my hired place for facials treatment steaming was done with bowl of hot water and towel to cover my product were natural like eggs white York as face mask avocado lemon honey mix hair treatment and the shampoo i could afford then form local shop

Loan Proposal

Thanks the first loan is 500 ksh so would use 300ksh to buy packaging material like paper bags since i already have plastic containers and ingredient or chemical i need for my new soap business as i got finance to buy those from y old running business oasis beauty parkour would use the remaining 100 for airt time so i can communicate or sms clients and 100 for my airtime on pc modem to help place adds on free site like OLX or pigia me among other free site
than as i continue and get larger some loan after repaying the first would
I would then loan to buy Sodium lauryl ether sulfate,(re known chemical name Ungerol around 500mls,sodium chloride or iodized salt(re-known chemical name common kitchen salt Normal quantity i need 500g then cocodielthanolamide or CDEA, reknown chemical name Ufacid )500mlsl water soluble dye (normal food color)quantity i need 20g,-Benzalkonium chloride (normal preservative the quantiy i require is 40mls) then last but not list -fragrance,(local varies in the market around would do) that i need 20mls and i m good to go.Not forgetting tools to make liquid soap. Which would cost me approx $8 to $10 able to produce 20 ltrs of soap detergents .The 20lts on wholesale price would sell at $18 will mean profit of around $8 and if i sell in small quantifies for local kiosk is around $1 per 1ltr for the liquid soap that i produce that would earn me a cool $20 which means 50% profit.Good thing about liquid soap is several ours process to complete.So any order is only one day advance notice and i smile all they to the bank and for a good course of ensuring my client are clean happy by taking care of their hygiene as i make good quality affordably non harsh to skin Multipurpose liquid soap for them since i love them and i care as well .And who know someday as i expand create jobs for you woman young and nature like me as well.I tell what i love my job the joy of the finished product and success of the production of good quality product after the test give me the kind of joy that i love. I simply love my job work or business i would do it even if was for hobby.Because liquid soap takes at least only one day to be ready for use after manufacturing i will be making a profit of half the cost each production as per orders. With $350, i will use approximately $220 to purchase equipment and $200 to buy raw materials for a start up. By the end for the first month, i will have made around $600 to$1000 which will enable me to pay my loan installments and make more liquid soap. Meanwhile , before the first sale, i will use my already ruining oasis beauty product revenue to pay my loan.Oh i just can't wait i feel happy and successful already even as i write is a joy to visualize this knowing i m attracting and manifesting what is my heart desire now
So thanks in advance to Zidisha the internet search engine and more so to whosoever will be touches to give me the boost i need to grow better my business and ensure people around me will be clean with my soap so healthy wealthy for me employee as well as Happy to all of us including you Zidisha loan financiers
Thanks to divine for this chance
