About Me
I am Paul Kimani, aged 28 years married with two children. I was born in a small village Muranga County. I am the first born n a family of three children. - all males. I went to Mutunguru primary school and finished my exam in the year 2003. I stayed home for one year before I came to Mombasa with a friend whom I stayed with.
I got bored staying home idle so I decided to look for a job to keep myself busy. I joined a steel making company where I worked for a while. The salary was low and I decided to look for another company. I joined EPZ company for making clothes for export but the salary was equally small. I started saving so I can open my own business.
I saved for two years and I asked my friend for advice as to what type of business I could start with the money I had. I got many ideas and I took one idea of opening a motor cycle spare parts.
I had no experience in this area and I worked very hard to keep the business going.
My Business
I deal with sale of motor cycle spare parts. Motor cycle transport is very popular in this area and there are very many motor cycles and I saw that opportunity and decided to try my hand in it. Most of my customers are local riders who use their motor cycles as taxis to ferry people in town.
With time, I have created a wide customer base and most of them are repeat customers. I normally buy the spare parts from Nairobi where they are a bit cheaper. In a good month I make a net profit of about $ 230. This can change slightly when the business is low. I use the profit that I make from this business to support my family and my parents back home.
If given this money I will use it to increase my stock of spare parts.
Loan Proposal
My great thanks to lenders as the past loan has created a big change in my business and also to my life too but still I need more parts especially fast moving ones and thats why if I get this loan I will add more 100 tubes which will cost me $100,50 tyres which will also cost me $100 , 50 chains for $70.I hope the stock will help me to work without rushing so I will serve many of my customers at a time so making more profit and also saving time and money
