About Me

I was born into a poor family in a small town in Zambia, My father worked as a soldier.
I went to Government Schools all the way to Form 5.
In between i was forced to go through a private school, which by then was considered as laughable.

I faced stigma and belittlement in the small community in lived.

I only over came all that when i started passing with Distinctions and beating even all the peers who had gone to Government Schools. I then had to gain my won recognition to one of the top Government Schools.

I started my business in 2015 after realising that working was not giving me the desired results.

My land has a unique people comprising 73 ethnic groupings.

My children all have different ambitions, Doctor, Teacher, Actor, Pastor, Nurse with none of then pursuing my career (Accounting).

My hobby is Painting and drawing.

My Business

My business is Professional Business Advisory Services.

The services are on demand because of the importance they have on each and every business , new , established or even upcoming.

TAX services, Accounting, Business Plans for Banks purposes, Linkages to Auditors and other platforms to complete the business profile is paramount.

My passion to serve the masses who are not able to employ a fulltime Accountant drove me into this business.

My costs involve the following
- Office rentals
- Communication costs (internet etc)
- Transport
- Office expenses
- Printing and stationery
- Advertising
- Administrative Costs
- Outsourcing charges
-
My income is basically Consulting fees and Internships as well as training charges and seminar fees

I spend the income and profits as in:
1.0 My children's fees
2.0 Growing and expansion
3.0 Personal Career Development seminars
4.0 Professional memberships
5.0 Contribution to Humanitarian causes(Lions clubs)
6.0 Home Rentals
7.0 Personal expenses
8.0 Investing in retirement business (farming)
9.0 Mentorship and research

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan to expand into the newly found ares on the Copperbelt, employ an assistant, Pay for an extra office space and meet additional office expenses.

I will have to Pay for my Professional Fees as well so i can fully be recognised as a belonging to Accountants in Practice as well as improve on my out look as a Professional .

I have so far managed to meet various prospects but i will have to improve on attendance to various fora where i can advertise my services. I will also have to open up a web site , print fliers and Business cards and do a lot of door to door canvassing to lure and convince my prospects.

I find that there is a huge need for my services but all i need is to be prepared and be in the right places all the time.
