About Me

I am a businessman and a farmer at the same time.I operate a curio shop in Maua town found in Meru county.I also have dairy cows at my rural home in kisii county.

My Business

I have three dairy cows which give me around USD 825 per month on top of my earnings from a curio shop of $530 per month. My average cost to run the business per month is $177 for the shop and USD 150 in my dairy cow farming per month. I also do online assignment with Brainy Writers who pay twice in every month. I do get an average of $352 per month. Their payment is made on 5th and 25th of every month.The only cost I incur to do these assignments is $12 for internet bundles monthly. The only risk involved in my curio shop business is that i deal with fragile goods. For online assignment, the risk involved is that sometimes orders are few for one quarter in a year. This makes me make an average of $60 per month.

Project Proposal

I do dairy farming.My milk production is higher than the demand.I have since diversified to making yoghurt.However,I lack enough storage facilities.
It is for this reason that I am requesting for this money to enable me buy three refrigerators to increase storage space and avoid wastages.

    Hi all.Thanks for funding my loan.This will go along way to enable me purchase the refrigerators I want to help store processed yoghurt.I have experienced storage challenges in the past which were leading to a lot of wastage.This will eliminate Wastage and increase my profitability from my business.

    Greetings team.Am grateful for your finance assistance through the loans you have been giving me.I have applied the money prudently and seen my business grow gradually to a point that am able to upscale my product range in the value chain.I have been selling milk but now am able to make yoghurt whenever the demand for milk goes down.
