I have worked with various companies and Saccos for the past 30 years rising to the post of a manager.I have vast experience in fleet management and Sacco management and i am currently working for a Sacco and run a public transport business.

My Business

I am currently in part time public transport business but is putting up to venture into a cyber cafe business which i am sure will generate some reasonable income to me and my family.I have already bought two computers and a printer and i am now seeking capital for rent ,internet line and license. My business station is in Nairobi kikomba area just 100 meters from my work place.The business is a service delivery business and the demand for the services is high.
For the sake of clarity I'll focus on a small budget and will employ two people to help me do the business.From my research the average daily projected income will be $60 with daily expenses of $ 20. The target is achievable although it will be difficult to meet the target within the first six months of operation.The business will run for 6 days a week and i assume that i will make a saving of $ 40 daily which is equivalent to $ 1,040 per month (26 days). The starting Capital for the business is approximately $ 1800.
With a projected profit after tax and expenses of $ 340 per month, i will be able to pay back the tax and the loan comfortably in twelve months.

Services

I will use my profit to support the orphans widows and the elderly in my village.I will also support some parents from poor families by paying partial fees to their bright children and support our local church. I wish to expand the business as well in future.

Loan Proposal

Date 6/3/2014
To Zidisha Lender's
First and formost , I thank you so much for having entrusted me with the first loan which I have fully settled.I intend to purchase a P4 computer and have an internet line and use the balance in advertisement.The first loan helped me market my services and reach far and wide as i used part of it to make business cards and advertisement. I have experience in the agency business where I market products and services on behalf of a cooperate or individual clients at a fee. My firm is registerd as Diabenz Enterprises in Kenya.The market for the Agency business is extensive and requires proper advertisement and an internet connection to cover a wide customer base and expect growth. My target area are property buyers, sellers and service providers .With proper advertisement,my business will compete with other business in the same industry and I will be able to expand and make profit as I create employment.Though this business is not my only source of income,I can pay the loan with my earnings from my managerial job in a public transport company as I try to build my own business.
