About Me

I wa born in thika, Muiri near gatukuyu shopping center, i went to Muirigo primary school, Senior Chief Koinange high school and later to Ashley's beauty college. i ventured into business so that i can be able to realize my dreams i was given some money by my parents to cater for the start up costs. i started doing business since i always had passion for business since i was a small kid. I love where i come from because people are innovative, generous and love business. My child wants to be an Engineer when he grows up. I love swimming, watching movies and listening to gospel music.

My Business

i have opened a new electrics shop and has an Mpesa. Mpesa has a lot of demand in the area due to increased mobile money transfers. I chose this kind of business since the area has demand for the products and has the potential for growth in business. Currently i have one employee whom i pay $66.7 per month and rent 0f $44.4 per month, i usually get profits of about $333.4per month from the shop and mpesa. the profits i get i pay rent and the worker, the rest i just put it back to the business.

Loan Proposal

i will add the loan amount to the Mpesa e-float. and buy stocks for my shop. the loan will be used as follows,

M-pesa E-float = $55.56
mobile phone accessories= $22.22
Beverage drinks like sodas and fruit juices=$22.22
Other stocks=$11.11
The Mpesa float will generates an income of $222.22 per month when i am operating with a float of $444.44. For the stocks i give them a 15% profit margin.

    I thank all the lenders that funded my loan, I am so happy and beyond words. I want to invest the loan in my new shop, I will add float to my mpesa agent till and the remaining amount will be used to buy electricals stocks for my new shop. This will imrove my business and will assist me in capturing more customer transactions. I am grateful Zidisha.
