About Me

My name is Patrick onyango. I was born 1996 in kisumu, Kenya. I was brought to nakuru in 2006 to live with my uncle who was a great business man. I used to go to school and on weekends I work in my uncle's shop. I there for grow a great interest in Business. After I finished my secondary education I joined egerton university where I pursued a degree In business management. I worked with private company for one year where I was able to save money from the salary which I was paid on a monthly basis. On the January 2018 I had a total of 75,000Ksh with which I was in good position financially to start a small business venture. My business of choice was maize Selling. I purchased poshomill which costed 60000. I used the remaining 15000 to buy inventory and the set up of the business.

My Business

My business involves buying maize from farmers and wholesalers and then I sell it to the consumers in the urban area of nakuru where my business is located. I sell it in three forms because of different customer preferences. I sell it as unprocessed maize for customers who go to stock it in their homes, secondly as maize flour where I process it using my poshomill and lastly as an improved maize flour commonly called number one. It is relatively a profitable
business in Kenya because it has got a steady supply and also ready market . As any business I face a lot of challanges. First, stiff competition from well developed maize millers. Second, inadequate capital to purchase more stock for my business.

Loan Proposal

I want to use this loan to buy materials which am going to design into modern clothes. also to market my business and this will increase my sales up to 200%
