My Business

Am currently doing farming business in the rural part of the country and selling the produce to the urban centre of the country.I will use this loan to buy more farming tools and fertilizer,I will pay back this loan with money from the sale of the farm produce.Members of the community and other customers prefer my goods due their good quality and they are affordable compared to my competitors.My business is profitable because the produce is always more than the capital used.The risk my business faces is drought but we mitigate that with irrigation.My monthly income is around USD750 my monthly Expenses is around USD600
