About Me

I am a businessman transiting from employment to entrepreneurship.
I source for spare parts and vehicles(Pick ups) from dealers and other entities to sale them to other customers who have a need.
I also acquire the vehicles(pick ups) through contracts (sale on Behalf), repair and make them road worthy then sale them to willing buyers (on on profit).

The vehicles are mostly sold to all levels of businesses (from low income to established businesses). This is because each business has its own unique need and budgets.

I am looking to expand into a full dealership within the next 5 years. Acquire my own vehicles and have a service point to work on purchased units.

My Business

As explained above, my income source will basically come from the difference between purchase of used cars, refurbishment to roadworthy standards and actual sale of the finished product.
Of course there will be an addition of labor cost, parts, warehousing and other expanses to reach the profit threshold.

I intend to grow the business from the profits made after repaying the principal amount of acquisition of the asset.

For now my cost is basically movement (fuel), refurbishment of acquired unit( Repairs and paint jobs), communication (airtime) and meeting venues.
I keep the cost low to get maximum returns on investment.

Loan Proposal

I buy vehicle spares from uganda and resale to customers in kenya at a profit

    I am grateful for funding my project.
    I will use the funds for travelling from one place to the other while checking out vehicles to sale on behalf or refurbish.
    It will go a long way in improving transportation needs for other entrepreneurs.
    Thank you

    I wound up the spare parts business to elevate myself into providing mobility solutions to startups and established entrepreneurs.
    I source for pick up trucks in different stages of depreciation and repair them and sell on profit . This practice is helping quite a number of business people on different stages of capital move their businesses and goods affordably.

      Hallow Mr. Hartmut,
      Yes, i travelled to Uganda Late last month and was mugged in the streets and relieved of my hard earned cash, I was on the way from the bank to pay my suppliers. Got depressed and down with high blood pressure. The doctor advised me to take a rest but i will be back to restart the business from scratch again.
      Thank you for your concern

    The loan helped me a great deal in airtime for both internet and phone.
    I reached many other customers who needed my goods but were in far flung areas.
    thank you Zidisha. I have more orders for goods now more than before. My earnings are set to increase

    Hallow Good People,

    Iam in the motor vehicle spares business(New), over the last few days Zidisha has made me reach more customers by providing airtime money for me.
    My reach has increased by atleast 10%, i am also growing my limit daily by repaying my loans on time.
    I know, very soon, my loans will be higher thereby injecting the much needed capital boast into my business.

    Thank You Zidisha family
