My Business

After i completed my college level academics,i chose to open a business here at Langalanga Estate,Nakuru which deals with electrical accessories and an M-pesa services in year 2010.I have partitioned the 15*12 squared room into two parts.
In my electrical shop i sell sockets, bulb holders,cables,florescent bulbs,energy saving bulbs,cut-outs,wiring cables of all sizes e.g-0.05mm,1.00mm, and 1.05mm,among other electricity appliances.
In my M-pesa section,i offer M-pesa services (withdrawing & depositing money using mobile platform,Safaricom).It includes sending money and withdrawing money using mobile phone through the services rendered from the Safaricom limited.The trans-actions involves the Kenyan currencies and only available to the Safaricom lines only.I have been in this business for from the year 2010 and even today i have been depending on to this business for my family daily needs.
From a normal monthly sales and M-pesa services,i get to almost Kshs.85,000/=.After i restock my electrical shop and adds the M-pesa float, i get up to almost Kshs.24,000/= as my net profit.Out of the profit i get i pay my business rent,County annual license fee,my child's school fees,home rent and electricity bills and water.Then i am left with an average of Kshs.17,180/=.
From the net profit,i am comfortable that i will be able to be servicing my loan without any problem.I am also planning to extend my shop in terms of adding more electrical accessories which are on higher demand within.Through the Zidisha empowerment,i am sure that my business will grow much higher and i will also increase my M-pesa float to maximize my daily running capital.Thank you all in advance and it's my prayer that you will consider my business and fund it.Thank you.

Loan Proposal

Dear lenders, first and foremost i would like to thank you very much for the financial support you have given me in the past.My business has really grown and i am happy that i am not where i started.I managed to move my business to the city center where there is more demand.With the loan that i am borrowing at this moment, i will be able to increase my M-Pesa float, and also to purchase a few electrical accessories for the shop.
I want to maintain my M-pesa customers by ensuring there's always enough float in the phone and also cash whenever they come to deposit or withdraw money.
I will also add electrical accessories in the shop in order to give better services to my customers.Most of my customers are electricians within the town, so they normally buy items every now and then and i would not like them to come and not find whatever they want in the store.Thank you very much and have a pleasant day.
