About Me

My name is Jonas Okai and 27 years of age.
I had my primary education from at the age of six where i was first enrolled into primary one. Spend six year in primary school. From primary school i continue in junior high school and completed ten years ago. The support was not readily available at home and so i quickly catch my passion of barbering hair.
2014 i established my own barbering shop which serve people around my neighborhood and other places. Little did i know i was up for greatness, since the establishment of the shop i have never look back. The shop have become my daily life safer. I get my daily income from it and it well establish business.
I have devoted all my time and energy for this shop, although in between time do social media most time i am at my shop.

My Business

I run a barbering shop which belong to me.
On weekends lot of people come to barber their hair. I can boldly say Saturdays are my favorite because lots of costumers find time to come to barber hair. I have three guys who assist in the shop. They are not permanent workers because i cannot paid them. They mainly friends who will love to help any day this make saving costumer very fast. Although it in my plans to expand and create employment for other young guys who have the passion like me to earn their living.
The shop has four shaving machines used for barbering.
I used $400.00 in setting up the barbering shop and on average, i make $50.00 per week.
I used part of my income to buy consumables such tissue paper, sterilizer, repair of the barbering machine.
Part of my profit is used for savings to expand the shop in the near future.

Loan Proposal

6 bottles of mentholated spirit cost $8
5 razor blades cost $8
10 pieces of dressing tissue paper cost $10
1 hair cream cost $4
These items will help my to do my barbering work with
efficiency.
I know if I am able to get the above, business will be good.
My aim is to extend my store to employ others who have talent
like me, so that they can also earn money to live

    I have been able to plan very well with the profit ever since I bought my new generator to use in my barbering shop. It has cut down the huge electricity bill which affected my profit. The power system is now very reliable because anytime the nation power goes off, I quickly turn on the generator.
    I have really made a good decision by taken this important loan.
    I have paid back my loan successfully, and have planned to apply for another loan to buy three warmer and two more steriliser machines into the barbering shop.

      Jonas,

      Your new loan application says you are buying power generator. Is this mistake? If so, please correct the application.

        Daisuke,

        Yes I am buying high voltage power generator, it just prudent to that I titled my loan ' high voltage generator.
        Secondly, zidisha has changed editing of loan application and I cannot edit my loan application unless I cancel and reapply again.
        Only zidisha Team can do something about my loan title.
        Thank you

          Jonas,

          I thought you already bought power generator using last loan and this time you are buying " three warmer and two more steriliser machines." Which ones are you buying this time?

          • Jonas    Jul 31, 2018

            Daisuke, Thank you for your observations.
            Yes the previous loan was used to buy generator but I realised the generator cannot power all aspects of the barbering shop, that is why I need and extra generator to power other aspects of the barbering shop.
            Secondly, the three warmer and two additional steriliser machines will be bought later .
            I humbly call on you to fund the rest of my loan .
            God Richly Bless you!
