About Me
my childhood was not on a silver platter as my mum really had to hassle to fend for us despite being employed and I always thought some day away from working for n organization or individual i would do it for me by having a side business to get me there. I did not have luxuries that kids from today enjoy but glad I had a descent education and took it seriously.
I once overcame a hardship by opting to baby sit for my neighbor as at the time we were on forced unpaid leave due to current economic issues
tourism is very unique for us in my land followed by farming and at the ed if the day this people need decent clothing
I eventually want to be self employed and put all my effort into my business and also set precede to my peers and again create employment.
Am passionate about fashion and look forward to having a clothing line with my initials one day.
it is wonderful do have a passion and drive for your vision.
as a child i loved knitting for my dolls and making them fashionable .
started by business just selling stuff to my fellow colleagues and making a profit and going back to wholesale shops to get more
my children want to go places my daughter a neuron surgeon my son pilot and i know i need funds to take the m this far.
My Business
I sell clothes, jewellery, shoes and handbags and goods that are trending in the market at the time and am also employed
everybody needs an aspect of fashion and in my opinion it doesn't matter what you do but when your smart things always fall in place and people will always want to look nice
i chose this business because i act as the guinea pig as i love to look nice and people started asking where i buy my stuff so instead of directing them i offered to deliver at and extra fee and word went round and with time i got clients who will call and describe what they need i advice depending of figure and i have take my time to understand colours and motives what looks nice on who.
the profits range from 50-100%ing and being a single mum i supplement the profits to keep my children in school and some to restock this way i always have something going for me am also in a sacco where we get bonus which i also use to restock my stuff and have the moneys double hence making more profit
my typical cost would be like usd 500 aand out of it i can make a profit of say USD 300 .
Loan Proposal
I will increase on my jewelry stock which is now depleted and add on to the new fashionable clothes and shoes. on average for each category i intend to spend US 70 in three equal parts , this should eventually give me a profit of US 300
out of this investment i will be trending in the market as i target very new and fashionable products for the young especially who are the most of my clientele and by young i mean mid 20 and above. this investment will enable me send my children to high school come next term and sustain rent payments and also facilitate in buying drugs for my parents, and also pay for a nanny to take care of the toddler as i am away working
