Add seats and tables to boost my expanding restaurant

Dear Daisy,

This is a place to communicate with your lenders. In your case you should ask your question to Zidisha staff. You can do this by creating a support ticket using the help menu (www.zidisha.org/borrower/help).

Ps. You agreed to put a large part of your loan into the Member Loan Fund to get a higher credit in the future. This amount is deducted from your current loan so you didn’t receive that. If this was a mistake then you could repay the exact amount you received. If this is done then you should contact staff (by creating a support ticket) to cancel the remaining part of your loan.

Kind regards,
Joost

Hi Wendy, can't the Zidisha management just just cancel the loan, since I already repaid the 7,000/- i had received as a loan, instead of waiting for me to pay the 10,870/- security fee and then refunding it to me? I think that would be much easier since I'm in a financial crisis right now. It's unfair if you list me with CRB for an amount that remained with you.

We haven't heard from you for several weeks, and you're getting very behind with your payments. Please contact [email protected] to discuss the best way forward. We want to help you, but you have to do your bit too!
God bless you,
Wendy

Please can you contact Zidisha to arrange a lower weekly installment.That is better than letting yourself get behind with your payments, which can make it harder to get another loan. You can increase your installments again when you have more money coming in. Zidisha is very helpful and wants you to succeed rather than struggle!
God bless you,
Wendy

I called her number but the person who received refused to talk

Hello Daisy. Are you able to start making payments again yet? If not, please can you contact Zidisha and ask them to make your installments even lower for a while.
God bless you,
Wendy

I have decided to change the repayment amount because the profits are not so good as at now and i am using it to pay for my college and my baby's school fees as well. Otherwise the loan helped me buy a new juicer which has really made work easier in the restaurant by reducing manual work and increasing efficiency to the business,

Thanks a lot to the lenders who have participated, i am still appealing for more lenders to chip in. Thank you all.

Once again let me thank my lenders so much for their continued support in ensuring the success of my business. I used the loan to add seats to my restaurant and that helped my business a great deal since i realized increase in profits. The increase in profits helped me alot in supporting my part time studies.

I would like to let the lenders know that used the loan to purchase my restaurant equipment and tools that were lacking in the business. That purchase made work easier in the business and we saved a great deal of time in serving and satisfying our customers. My business profits increased by 15% since we also faced a great deal of competition.

I can not pay the usual amount because my cashier stole alot of my business cash and disappeared. The business has since gone down though i am trying to get it to its feet again. All in all i hope the business will pick again and profit margin will go up again.

  I'm sorry to learn of this theft. Thank-you for continuing with repayments even though they are less. I too hope that your business will be able to recover.

I take this opportunity to inform all my lenders that i received the loan and i must say i am so thankful to all of you. I received kshs. 17,051 which i used to buy seats and tables that i added to my restaurant furniture. My customers are so pleased to get more places to sit especially at lunch time. Thank you so much my lenders, i appreciate your contributions so much.

I would really like to thank my lenders so much for this loan, i really appreciate your kindness. I will use the loan to buy more seats and tables for my restaurant, and use the rest for transportation of the furniture from the buying place to my restaurant. The addition of the seats and tables will help my restaurant a great deal as the number of customers eating in my restaurant will grow and this will add to the restaurant's daily profit. The additional profit will help to purchase more equipment and at least add one employee to the business.

Thank you so much my lenders, i used my past loan to purchase chairs and tables to be used in my restaurant and that has made a great impact on my business. My customers have increased a great deal and my profits have gone up. I have used the increased earnings to pay for my brother his university fees and also added more equipment to help in running the business. I am looking forward to this loan so i can use it to add more chairs and tables to accommodate more customers.

I would like to thank my lenders so much for my last loan helped me a great deal. I was able to buy a few chairs and tables that helped my business so much in gaining more profits as my customers increased due to the fact that they finally had places to sit while eating. I would love to add more tables and chairs though, as my customers keep increasing because of my good services and quality food.

Daisy    Apr 28, 2015

I take this opportunity to thank all my lenders very much. I received the the whole amount of the loan and used it to purchase the budgeted seats and tables. I'm happy to say that the seats and tables have been of a great help to my business as they can now sit comfortably as they take their meals min my restaurant. My earnings have increased by 30% since then and i know they will increase even further. I've used the increased earnings to re-pay the loan and to buy more furniture. thank you again so much for your support.
