My Business
I started my business 'JUST ANKARA' last year May.it was a hobby and something that i loved doing.i loved afrian designs and i used to customize everything i wear to look african,that got me more customers.
i make Kitenge/ankara shoes,bags,bow ties,outfits,bangles and earings.There is a huge emand for this goods as people nowadays always want to look unique and desire that african touch to their look.It is als the fashionable thing now.My customers prefer my goods to other competitors because they are unique,classy and affordable.I always get double profit to all my products.I face risk of loosing customers since i have not establish a shop yet.I do my work in the house and sometimes getting customers to come to my house for fitting is hard.
my monthly costs is $250
sales reveue and profits $437.5
I will repay my loan through my business profits that i will get every month
Loan Proposal
Am requesting for your support in buying Kitenge materials,which i need in different colors and prints,shoe shapers for making the flat shoes,heels and wedges that i customize with the material,the boards used in making the bags and also the two types of glue that i use to make the Ankara shoes and bags.
The loan that i have requested will help me make more different designs and meet the high demand that i have for the African stuff now,especially the shoes and bangles.It will also help me work at ease instead of working with a rush as i do it now on order.
