About Me

Hello, my name is Robert and I work in real estate. I have a few shops in development and wanted to construct more. I am requesting a loan so that I may  put up more shopping structures as to grow my real estate business and income.

My Business

I work at real estate company which has two small shopping malls and over forty tenants. I'll be using this money acquired for the loan to create shopping kiosks using shipping containers ( 8-by-40 foot steel containers)  The kiosks will be built in the rural l area of Limuru, to help the low working class have a place to sale they're goods and services thus increasing they're household income. My hope is to help my community and grow my business too.

Loan Proposal

I'll need to buy shipping containers ($2,500)  some materials (nails, timber, sealant, tarp, steel, paints, windows, etc .$250) and welding equipment ($200) also put in some new water pumps and water trunks ($350). After all that put in a new ceiling with lighting ($150) and electrical wiring for sockets (barber/salons, phone charging stations). Drainage system (pumps, drainage pipes, cement $240). With all this done I hope to have provided a beautiful and safe working conditions for the tenants. So far I have managed to rise $1,700 thanks to help of rental income generated from my previous loan provided by the lenders of Zidisha.

Income Source

Unlike my previous projects this is my largest so far, it's a great opportunity as people have started to appreciate and admire the work we are doing in the community. Am so humbled and grateful for all they help and support. We are luck and privilege to have a of daily cash business in the kiosks, for example Cyber Café (which also have video games, which have recently had a lot of traffic) Beauty Parlours, Mobile Repair Shops, etc which all pay the monthly rent on time. Which helps me pay my loans on time too.

    Hello Lenders, I hope you are all well and in good spirits. I have been fortunate enough to be able to repay my loan early. I have also been given the opportunity to work on a new and challenging project. With the work I've been doing putting up the kiosks in the community a lot of people have taken notice and are very happy and impressed with the work. I have a new job lined up from next week, which is my biggest project to date. I'll be requesting another loan and I truly hope that you will continue to help and support me archive my goals and continue to helping me build and promote my community. Thank you in advance for all your help and support.

    Dear Peter, Asshay, and Kirk let me start off by wishing you a Happy Holiday. I truly appreciate your help and am extremely grateful beyond words. Am looking forward to counting with the kiosks which at the moment seem to Covid resist to business. I will be opening up 10 new shop because of your assistance. I look forward to to keeping you updated and paying my loan in time. Take care, and be safe.

    Good day ladies and gentlemen, I just wanted to say thank you to you all. You have truly helped me achieve my goals and more, the community and tenants thank you too. With your money I was able to buy a shipping container, and materials to set it up. Including new water pumps and water trunks, install lighting and electrical wiring. The tenant opened up a barber/salon, cyber cafe, kiosk and wholesale clothing shop. They have requested that I add more container shops so they can all grow their businesses. In a month or two I'll be requesting another loan I hope you all will be able to help again. With the earnings from rent I'll be able to pay back the reminder for the loan in full tomorrow.

    Once again let me just say thank you, I truly appreciate your help. Thank you.

    Good afternoon Lenders,

    First of all let me start by say thank you so much for all your contributions, you have not only me but at least fifteen small business owners whom have set up shop with the containers built. Today 12th October one of the tenants who has set up a cyber cafe and game shop put up a TV outside so everyone could watch history been made by Eliud Kipchoge. I've tried to upload photos but it's not working. Once again from me and the greatful business owners thank you for your help and support. The way thing are going it looks like I could be able to pay back the loan early by the end November.

    Take care, have a great weekend.

    Robert M. Nyanja

    Robert, per the numbers in your loan proposal, you need $605. What is the loan for only $9?

    Log in to reply • Share
    • Robert    Jul 8, 2019

      Yes my loan proposal does indeed require $605 for the full project. But first I need the $9 to finish paying for construction/building permits with office of Kiambu County.
