About Me

I was born an orphaned. life was not an easy one but life must go on. I was interested in business.I told my father even when I was at the Senior High School that I wanted to do business and my dad saw that I was so ambitious and he never led me down. He contributed so much I was able to build a container store and bought some few things like biscuits, toffees chewing gum and others. I have depended on this business for more than six years now and through hardworking and dedication, I have been able to manage till now. My children are in school because of this business.This business has helped me greatly. People like coming to my shop because of the attention I give them. I wish I could expand my business now that my children are young. I'm trying my best to assist my children in their education.

My Business

I sell almost everthing that customers require. I must say my shop is a provision store in short. Some of the items in my shop are; milk, sugar,energy drinks, sachets water,Milo,tofee, nido etc. Alongside, I sell mobile recharge cards. My store is sited close to the lorry station so passengers who travel to nearby towns and villages get access to the things I sell without going to a super market. In the mornings when poultry farmers are preparing to go to their various farmers that is the nearest area they could buy things to consume in their farms. My store provides the basic items for the people especially those living in that suburb. I chose this business because I could not continue my education to the tertiary level and I also did not learn any job like tailoring, barbering,carpentry etc. I have been so serious with my selling to enable me get some profits to pay my ward's school fees and pay for utilities.

Loan Proposal

I want to buy ten bags of rice $312,four bags of sugar$98, four boxes of milk$78, six boxes of milo$59, six packs of baby diapers $76,seven bags of sachel water$23, four boxes of bathing soap$86, three boxes of washing soap$87. My shop will look attractive and I'm looking forward to see more profits since my customer base is going to increase. I will also be supply what my customers need. If buying of items from my shop should increase, I will employ someone to assist me and this will mean that I will be offering employment to others.
