About Me

I am a businessman and a farmer at the same time.I operate a curio shop in Maua town found in Meru county.I also have dairy cows at my rural home in kisii county.

My Business

I have three dairy cows which give me around USD 825 per month on top of my earnings from a curio shop of $530 per month. My average cost to run the business per month is $177 for the shop and USD 150 in my dairy cow farming per month. I also do online assignment with Brainy Writers who pay twice in every month. I do get an average of $352 per month. Their payment is made on 5th and 25th of every month.The only cost I incur to do these assignments is $12 for internet bundles monthly. The only risk involved in my curio shop business is that i deal with fragile goods. For online assignment, the risk involved is that sometimes orders are few for one quarter in a year. This makes me make an average of $60 per month.

Loan Proposal

I operate a curio shop at maua town in meru county. On average I get $530 per month. My average cost to run the business per month is $177 per month. I also do online assignment with Brainny writers who pay twice in every month. I do get an average of $352 per month. Their payment is made on 5th and 25th of every month.The only cost I incur to do these assignments is $12 for internet bundles monthly. The only risk involved in my curio shop business is that i deal with fragile goods. For online assignment, the risk involved is that there are two to three months in a year when the orders are very few. This makes me make an average of $60 per month. I have invested heavily in agriculture. I have a 6 year lease of an 8.5 acres of land at maasai land in a town called Enemasi. i have planted sugarcane which will be due for harvest june next year. This is why I need your financial injection to boost my plans. Therefore, the loan will enable me pay wages to employees who occasionally offer me labor in my sugarcane farm.

    I do dairy farming.My milk production was higher than the demand.The loan assisted me todiversify to making yoghurt.However,it was not enough lack enough and that is why I am requesting for another loan to enable me buy three more refrigerators to increase storage space and avoid wastages.

    Hi all.Thanks for funding my loan.This will go along way to enable me purchase the refrigerators I want to help store processed yoghurt.I have experienced storage challenges in the past which were leading to a lot of wastage.This will eliminate Wastage and increase my profitability from my business.

    Greetings team.Am grateful for your finance assistance through the loans you have been giving me.I have applied the money prudently and seen my business grow gradually to a point that am able to upscale my product range in the value chain.I have been selling milk but now am able to make yoghurt whenever the demand for milk goes down.
