My Business

, -50dollars -shall buy pine tree seeds,

    Hello Mr. Musau - don't give up! If you are having trouble, just let Zidisha know about it, and they can work with you. They want to help you continue to grow, but can't do anything if you don't talk with them.

    Hello Mr. Musau, how are you? I hope that you are well. When you can, it would be good for you to leave a message for us, letting us know how your business is going, and when you expect to start making your repayments. It is better to let us know that there will be a delay for a reason, then keep us guessing about what is going on. Thank-you.

    Hello Mr. Musau Kingoo, I was pleased to find that your loan was funded in the last few hours.
    Seedling and flower sales dosen't really fit in to my usual criteria for picking loans to support, but I agree with you that trees are important for both local and global environments.
    Also, I believe that you are a business person with a good understanding of your market, so I am happy to contribute.
    I anticipate with pleasure reading of your buisness's progress.

    Dear Zidisha lenders,

    Mr. Simon Musau is hardworking, trustworthy and entrepreneur whom I have known for more than 3 years. He owns a seedling business which is doing well and now he is in the process of starting flower & gift section to increase sales. The business has strong customer base and is situated in a good place in Nairobi where customers in westlands have high spending power.I wish to request lenders to consider contributing towards his loan so that he can expand his business. He is the only friend whom I have invited because I trust him so please consider contributing towards his loan. May you have a blessed week a head.

    Hi lenders,

    Thanks to all of the zidisha members who contributed towards my loan because I used the money to renovate my business premises which has made the business more appealing and attractive to customers and the sales has increased. I have successfully completed the loan and now am inviting lenders to consider contributing towards my second loan so that I can restock my shop with flowers and gifts. Also plant varieties of seedlings to meet customers needs. Thanks all.

    Hi lenders,

    Currently in Kenya their is rainfall throughout and so many people and institutions have been purchasing the seedlings to plant before the end of the season and with your support, my business has been more professional and I have made many sales and now am in the process of adding more seedlings. Zidisha lenders, you have made me achieve a lot. Thanks all
