About Me

Since i was in school i have always dreamt to do business.After school i got employed in a boutique in Mombasa where i was working but back in my mind i was getting a business experience to actualize my dream.at the start i had some financial challenges but through my savings from the little salary i got i was able to raise some capital that enabled me to start the business. in 2012 i began my business and i encountered some normal challenges that every young business faces like straining with rent,permits and trying to create a customer base. etc.my place of business is quite ok because in mombasa people really party alot so there's much demand on party dresses.make ups and casual shoes.

My Business

my business is mainly about fashion and beauty where i sell handbags,shoes makeups and clothes.i normally set daily and weekly targets for the shop so us to meet the shop expenses,stocking plus rents expenses and my upkeep.it has always been my passion to be in the fashion industry.My shop expenses are:the shop rent,power bills and transportation of stock.From when i started the business,I've been using the profit to grow my business in different ways:getting an internet connection in my shop so as to market the business online,buying shop equipments like manikins and jewellery stands.I only use a quarter of the profit for my upkeep and paying my tithe.

Loan Proposal

am intending to stock for clothes and shoes to add on what i have now,which are handbags and make ups.In Mombasa we are in high peak season now and there is much demand in party dresses,jeggings,skin tights,skinny jeans,gladiator shoes,peeptoe heels,indian sandals e.t.c.This might cost abit much cash,i have some cash left from the profit i made previously,thats why am requesting for the loan so that i can get cash to add o what i have and buy the goods i desperately need.
I'll get good profit especially from the clothes since one party dress goes for 2dollars on wholesale and 800 dollars on retail.As for the shoes,the price are a bit high but better still,one makes a good profit from the sale.
I'll be so glad to accomplish this,since i'll be able to care for all the fashion needs of my customers,hence growth for my bussiness.Thanks

    Goodmorning good people,i would like to in the first place thank you for the great favour you did to me by giving me the loan 4months ago.My shop has really grown and am so glad about it.I had bought bags and make ups with the cash i got from you and i got much returns which i divided;some for getting more make ups and bags and some for creating bussiness cards for my shop website,facebook page,instagram and tweeter. I also created a watsapp group for my customers,where i post pictures of new arrivals for customers to place their orders.Am now intending to stock for clothes and shoes to provide a variety of stuffs to my customers,and make much sales in this peak season.Thats why i've thought of applying another loan.Thanks again for your continued support and may God bless you abundantly!!

    Good evenning good people,i first want to apologize for my silence.Av been getting your emails notifications but i was unable to reply since av been out in the village and it was so hard for me to get a cyber with good internet.I got the money that you sent on my Mpesa account and i must say that am so grateful,i feel so humble for your great support.The money i got from you really boost my stock in the shop.I got much handbags and several make ups,of which am selling so much making it easier for me to run the shop.Paying the shop's rent and my upkeep isn't hectic for me anymore and am so thankful.I'll try and send the pictures of my shop you see the good works you've done to my business.Thanks again!
    Regards,

    Hi Ann. I suggest you change your photo and possibly post a photo of yourself at the shop and make sure you put a smile on. It could work magics.
    Looking forward to your success with your application.
