About Me

my name's are Joshua maina, i am married and I am a father of three kids. I run a business of selling cereals and a general shop.

My Business

I sell dry foods and a shop. my business is located in embu county. I normally buy food in wholesale and sell in both retail and wholesale.

Loan Proposal

Through the previous loans from zidisha, i have been able to improve the business i started from the first loan i got adding some savings from my employment. From this loan I want to construct a changing room in the business where customers can change clothes inorder to chose the one cloth that fits them better. I also want to add more stock including bed sheets and heavy clothes for cold season which is currently in our country. The total cost of constructing a changing roon is about usd 50 and the cost of buying stock is about usd 130. With this i am expecting the profit to risefrom the current usd 300 per month to usd 350 per month.

    With the introduction of credit risk, the loan has become too expensive. Hence one should avoid applying so many times.
