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 was away for while back but my business was doing fine .Like always my 10/100 always goes to my fixed account that is my tradition and i love it because so fa have saved good amount from the time i started borrowing.this time around the 10% is $1.3 USD.Then then $7USD goes to buying chemical for bar soap and multipurpose liquid soap $2USD goes to purchasing Air time for my pc modem and phone which i then use for my online research training to gain more knowledge on business management production and all as well as for advertising my beauty product on free classified and marketing via email to friend and relative social media
the remaining $2.4USD would go to buying packaging have plastic bottle and had left over from last time of plastic bag but can no longer use because plastic bags banned in Kenya for now.I support that for environmental issues but is little loss because then i have to part with unplanned for cash to get non plastic packaging
bags
Yah and wanna let my lenders know i m doing well much better than when i start got invitation to go out of the country by one of my online client for this same soap production
So was a great opportunity with ticket and accommodation paid for as well as my product and the production i helped to train to some self help group there
may be this is out of topic but i think is good to share so my fellow borrower know the importance of selling on line and small beginning as well as for our lender to know how far and wide the help they extend to us goes.
The good thing about Liquid soap production double profit which means after buying chemical at $7USD shall be able to produce more than 60ltrs and with 20ltrs i sell at lowest $10 which means after sales i have my cool $30usd nit profit
Not only will be able to pay back the loan but would also increase my production.I make my production as per order and is in very very high demand more then my production.Is my biggest charge but i love it it makes me growing and thing of buying a machine as soon as i can for faster production better quality international standard package and of course large quantities to satisfies my growing number for clients
So to Zidisha Asante sana and our lenders Thankyou ,Shukran ,Shukriah
