My Business

my busines is cross boarder trading.i usually sell items that i order from namibia,these items are grocery like soap,juice,macaroni,rice and sugar,milk and cooking oil.apart from that i also sell things like curtains,duvets and blankets. i sell my items within my neighbourhood and some items i sell to local shop owners to sell in their shops.these goods are on demand because they are very useful.so far my business has improved and ild like to keep growing it that is why im here again to apply for a second loan.it is almost winter season and blankets are on demand.

Loan Proposal

what i would like to do with this loan is that i want to grow my business. i want to order beddings for sale.that is blankets .its almost winter here and these items are on demand.this is the reason why im requesting my a second loan so that i can use the money il get and put together with the money i have to order more items for my business.so far my buyers are so impressed with my products.a bail of blankets costs $120 and there are twelve blankets in a bail.i would like to order two bails which is $240. I sell a blanket at $30 dollars each.meaning i get a profit of $20 per blanket.I believe that my business will improve greatly with this loan that im requesting for.i say so because the first loan i got from zidisha has made such a huge difference in my life and the lives of my family and clients.
