About Me
Brian,
I started my business about six moths ago. Due to the corona virus however, the economy went low. People's purchasing power was affected. Yet my business had not stabilized. Like any other person with a vision in business, i had to act strategically. I had to increase the services i offered. I thought of lamination and buying a second printer. since my printer is insufficient for bulky printing.Buying a printer to me would mean more efficient service to my clients. The problem was now how to raise the amount to buy a printer. But since i learnt about Zidisha, i thought it will be a nice idea to apply for a loan. Though the income level may not be normal. I believe with the current need for online services especially with the corona virus, i will survive in the market.
Thank you.
My Business
I own a cybercafe. Which i started about six months ago. I offer services like browsing, kra returns filling, helb loan applications for kenya university students, printing, photocopy, computer and phone accessories. However i face some little challenges on the printing services, since sometimes i may need to do some bulky printing. But my printer is slow, it cannot accommodate more clients.
Loan Proposal
Thanks for the previous loan. With this loan I will buy a desktop computer for the cyber. There are few computers in my cyber. Since last week I have received an increase in number of clients comming to the cyber. This has given a task of thinking how to accommodate more and more clients. One idea then was to add some machines in the room. Perhaps this will minimize the problem. Because some clients are always in a hurry. Making them feel comfortable and having their job done in time is always a positive gesture to my business. I will be thankfull for the support my lenders give to me. It is such a bounty.
Income Source
Many businesses have been affected by the pandemic and my own business is not an exception. However, low the income has been, my struggle has always been to take a good care of my clients. To make them feel safe by providing social distancing in the room, and providing them with a sanitizer. Most people have turned to online services at this pandemic. This gives me hope as I can still offer this services even at this time. I will be able to pay the loan since the business is still giving me some profits at the end of the week.
