About Me

I am a man born on 21 May 1981. I completed my primary school at Chibelo Primary School and my senior secondary at Kabulonga Boys High School in the year 2001. I am the last born in the family of five, and I am the father of two.

My Business

I started the business in 2013. I basically repair mobile cell phones of all brands, fixing both hardware and software related problems. To work efficiently, I use professional tools and software.

I recently benefited from Zidisha loans: I have been able to use my business's increased profits and diversify into buying and selling used cell phones and importing good quality cell phone accessories, as inspired by my customers' needs and demands, as there has been overwhelming demand for the products.

Loan Proposal

Almost everyday a new phone with new software emerges on the market which requires latest tools to fix,Its for this reason that the loan will be used to acquire more tools (flasher boxes) for my phone repair workshop,the acquisition of more tools will help my business in that i will no longer be subcontracting another technician to fix what i can fix with these tools and now other technicians will be subcontracting me which will boost up my profits in turn many people will benefit as they wont be going far to have their phones fixed.below is a list of items i will buy with the loan and their prices;

(1) Z3X Box Samsung + LG Edition USD200
(2) HUA Dongle USD70



N.B.The balance will be used on shipping costs.

    Perfect score on repayment! Alberto's work is very important because of the high cost of cell phones and the dependence on cell phones for everything, including universal use in everyday transactions in markets and stores. This is an example of Africa leapfrogging over the obsolete technologies that still dominate the developed world, in this case old fashion cash and credit cards.
