About Me

I am a Kenyan born and raised in the slopes of Taita hills first born in a family of three.Having challenges growing up including lack of school fees,proper clothing and going hungry sometimes and assisting my fellow siblings,drove me to start looking for cash at an early age.These challenges were a blessing in disguise because they helped me build my character to be a go getter,hardworking and strategizing on making life better for me and my family.I am currently employed however I do business on the side to meet some of my needs and make ends meet.This business has been in existence for the past 2 yrs now and has been growing significantly.Through this business returns I have been able to secure a 50x100 plot where am planning to establish a business structure of my own soon.

My Business

I deal with African accessories including bangles,earings and necklaces. I buy them at kshs 60 each and sell them at kshs 100 each...making 40% profits per item.The items pictured are the only ones remaining and the demand is overwhelming hence looking for cash to revamp my stock.This loan will be used to increase my inventory,pay some suppliers who have been supplying me with the products.

Loan Proposal

I am kindly requesting for the loan to boost my inventory. I am planning to add some items to my stock which customers have been asking for for awhile now.

Income Source

My business being a beauty business isn't facing many challenges at the moment. This is because the pricing is affordable.
