About Me

My name is Josephine Muthoni Gatune and a resident of Nakuru county.l do business in Mangu center and am not married.am a graduate and after long search for a job in the formal sector with no success l started selling milk to the residents of Mangu center where l use to distribute the milk mainly to the hotels within the center.but later with the help of my parents l managed to open a milk bar where l collect the milk from the farmers within and sell to the local residents. This enables me to earn a living and support my siblings who are still in school as well as do some personal development.

My Business

l started the business three years ago.l collect the milk from the farmers at ks 30 per liter and sell at ks 40 per liter.this enables me to make an average gross profit of ks 1500 per day.The demand for milk is very high in the area because of the many residents of mangu center and due to the scarcity especially during the dry seasons.for me to make sales l make sure that my prices are affordable to the customer and sell quality milk so as to avoid losses and competition from processed milk.if advanced with the loan l will be able to buy more milk and increase the sales.

Loan Proposal

i will buy a milk fridge to keep my milk,which costs 224.7191 dollars it will help me to buy a lot of milk and store it there without getting spoiled and it will help my customers to never lack the milk because i will be buying many litters and store it for several days.i expect my profit to increase by 20% per day.

    To all my lenders,i thank you a lot for the loan,it helped me to start a business of buying milk in wholesale and selling it to the neighbors,which am still in it now,it made a difference in my life because i have been getting profit,i have been earning a profit of 10% per litter,i have used my profit to increase my shop and bought a small fridge to keep the milk, i have been doing good together with my family,we are blessed,we enjoyed the past holidays and now we are back to work,thank you again for your care and when given another loan i believe it will change the position of my business to a higher point,i will use it to buy a big milk fridge and add more milk and increase the position of my shop,i will add some snacks for those who will be taking milk at the shop, and also i will start making yoghourts because i will be able to buy the ingredients. thank you so much,i will keep in touch.
