My Business
my business is loacted at munanda centre, i manage this business with a capital of 250000. my business mailny deals with buying farm yields from farmers i.e maize, beans, peas. this business is mostly busy during the harvesting season, just to give a reflection of last year, i was buying 120 of 90 kgs each bags of maize at 2000 sh per bag. transport the maize with a lorry to nairobi, this usualy cost me 20000. i then sell each bag at 2700.. ie. buying (24000) + transport(20000) =260000. profit= 324000-26000= 29800. after deducting some minor expences i remain with a profit of kshs 20 000, this whole process may take 4days and i mostly happens 4 times a month hences may add up to ksh 80000.
and sell each bag. the harvesting seasons mostly add up to 4 months in a year. challenges in the busuness are the business is seasonal, poor road infrastructure, unreliable markets, change in price leading to loss. i would request zidisha lender, to give me a loan of kshs 80000 to buy a motorbike which will help me access the very remote areas where a lorry cant make, currently i donkeys are the only means of transport in this area. i am planning to buy a motorbike called 'KINGBIRD 150-4" with double shock absorbers hence fit for huge laugages.
