About Me

I started schooling in a school Nakuru, performing well to high school and to my college certificate of animal health. I started working as a pestcontrol official in a company located around kasarani, worked for 2 yrs resigned to start my own business in the gikomba market taking my wares to offices and friends homes. later moved to zimmerman and opened a shop where i have clients living around and others visiting this areas who are amazed by what i do.

in the place i live mostly i have young families and i enjoy their company because of the small children who come along with their parents. we have a wholesome association, telling me of thier new adventures.

i have 1 son who i adore so much and wants to be a proffesional photographer when old enough.

My Business

I deal with second hand clothes. this items are on demand because of their daily routine in life. we need clothing and household items e.g mats curtains, baby clothes our dressing. i choose it because this is an essential need and people in my area have come to appreciate fashion. this kind of business does not require alot of capital and you are able to restock with not alot of money. the stuff i sell is easily affodable to my customers.

i buy my stuff from arange of 10000-20000 giving a revenue of 5000. i do asale of each item at the cost of 350 - 500, some from 800- 1000. some times people tend to compain but we are able to reach to abetter conclusion. mostly i budget my money for sons upbring in buying him his basic essetials to be used in his school and school fees. buying him his school uniforms, clothes that he use at home. my business growth is also very important so i tried hard to add more and new fashions to keep it growing. finally my home improvements i try to buy products for every day use and in case i need anew gadget in my house which i need to budget for sometime.

Loan Proposal

this time i plan to bring sweaters and jackets for adults and kids because the cold season is here and the business will be good if i bring this stuff at this time, i will also include blankets and duvets which are really important on this season. the estimate would be 230usd.
this will benefit my clients a lot. they will be able to keep themselves warm together with their family. to me it will create a good business opportunity and more profits which will improve my living standards.
in my business i will make another extra a 1000ksh from the current 1000 daily profit.
