Loan Proposal

I intend to boost my M-pesa/Airtel Money, Money transfer services, which is in existence and it has shown positive response. To add on what i have already in my float i want to boost at least to make sure that any client who comes to my shop does not miss any service or goods that she/he may need. This is to ensure i take notes and do research on what services is needed and how does it satisfy customers, and work on it accordingly.
