About Me

am the last born in a family of two me and my sister. i was born in kisii county but my parents moved to kakamega where i under went my primary education at kakamega primary school and later joined mukumu boys high school where my designing talent was natured and after my o' level i was enrolled in the mombasa polytechnic university college where i did diploma in graphic design and media studies but when i was a first year i lost both my mum and dad but God saw me through my college for i used to work as a graphic designer part time as i studied. on completion of my studies i came back to kakamega where i used to hire a friends computer to do design works till i was able to raise money to purchase my own computer and printer that am using now. since the kenyan government introduced devolution and the county system ,we have experienced growth in business and the circulation of cash is good and the community appreciates new ideas and quality. designing and art in general first started as a hobby little did i know it will be my source of income to support my wife and two kids . i have grown skill wise and believe that if supported finance wise i can do big things because the sky is not the limit when it comes to design , i am the limit.

My Business

am in the designing industry majorly print media . i do graphic design where by i design business logos for both small and big business, i do magazine designs t - shirt printing
and general office stationery. this service that i offer is very useful and in demand because every day new business are being opened and they need there identity like logos , they need to do advertisements which we design, they also need receipt books , invoices, letterheads, complementary slips which i do the design so in conclusion no business minus a designer because we always help you to communicate your business to your audience through design layouts. my business is located at the CBD and the business is able to carter for the operating Government revenue and other costs like the utility bills, rent and other daily expenditures, although the challenge as been the capital to expand the business because we are forced to borrow money from commercial banks which as high interest rates that's why when i had of zidisha i was so grateful, and excited about this opportunity, so please consider my application.

Loan Proposal

since am in the print media business the need for a laser jet printer as increased because i own one Epson px60 which is a ink jet and when it comes to paper plate making i cant use the ink jet because it doesn't print a permanent image on the plate which will be used in the offset lithography machine to make multiple prints. the world of technology is moving very fast and for you to be in business tomorrow you need to be a step ahead of your competitors and with the laser jet i will be able to do multiple prints more than i used to do because the laser jet printer is more faster than the Epson px60 and that will make me be able to beat my client deadline hence winning their confidence and trust. profits wise, it will be doubled because of the speed of the printer meaning i will be meeting the needs of more clients than i did meaning more profits for i will have improved on productivity. That's why i hereby ,humbly request you to facilitate me with the above pledged amount to enable me acquire the laser jet printer. thanks in advance .

    3 out of 124 payments made, then no further updates or payments in 18 months. Poor experience.

    Unfortunately due to ongoing late repayment and no updates or payments in 18 months, we've had to use Receive Advance Repayment to get the loan money back to assist other lenders.

    Hey Cliff, I agree with you, a good image is important. Do you get this with a proper look only? Of course not, as you know better than me... The best possible quality (in fair relation to the price paid, of course... :) will give you the needed mouth-to-mouth propagation. So, I guess, quality comes first – with quality comes volume of sales (revenue) – with good profit its easy to enhance other aspects of your business... Starting it all from bottom up is hard and I really wish you the best success, dear colleague! :)

    First but foremost i would love to thank you so so so very much for the trust that you guys have shown in me by fully funding my loan not that you didn't have what to do with your monies but because of the good heart of giving.........A BIG THANK YOU
    As i wrote in my proposal i will use the money to give my office a new outlook in terms of painting , making new shelves, tables and doing proper electrical installation. This will give the office an image that will install trust to my client and in the other hand it will make me at par with my competitors........thank you and my the almighty always make your pot full, your families will never lack......HAPPY NEW YEAR LEANDERS
