About Me
I am a young driven entrepreneur from Mombasa Island looking to make it in the beauty and make up business. I began my venture as early as after completing my secondary education. My cousin and I partnered to start selling a few beauty products to family friends and even neighbors. For some time our business was thriving until she left to study in another Province. Venturing into business as an entrepreneur was not easy however, after I joined College I had to find a means of survival as I could not live on the little money my parents could afford to send me. I used some portion of my keep up finance as capital to begin my venture and I have not turned back since.
My Business
I run a small beauty shop which is my main source of income. I buy my stock in retail and sell them to clients. My business is my passion and it is my interest in the beauty world that drove me to begin my journey.On weekly basis I could make up to Ksh. 8000 with a profit of four thousand shillings. Although small, I am proud of how far it has come and from several previous loans I have received from Zidisha I have included more items to my stock.
Loan Proposal
I would like to include beauty accessories in my stock. To be more specific I want to purchase watches that are sold $15 for a dozen at retail price.
I intend to resell these watches at 300kes per piece which will make me a profit of approximately $11
