My names are Michael Kangethe Kariuki I am 30 years old from Kenya. I am married and blessed with one child who is in class 1. I live in Makongeni estate approximately 5 km east of Thika town. After completing high school I started working as a casual laborer at building and constructions. During my working I managed to save in order to get capital to start a small business. After a couple of years of saving I managed to start a small business of buying and selling mobile phones accessories, the business I am doing up to date. I have always wanted to expand my business but I have been experiencing limitations due to lack of enough capital, therefore if I can find capital from other sources I can realize my business dream.
From my humble savings I managed to start a small business of buying and selling mobile phones accessories in Thika town. I source these products in bulk from suppliers at a lower price which enables me sell them at a good price and hence increase my sale and profit margin too. I have used the small profit I get from the sales to extend a mobile money transfer service (Mpesa Agent), buying mobile phones and airtime which has boosted my business and have drawn many customers. I will appreciate you, if you can assist me by lending me money so that I can expand my business further and also employ another person.
Dear lenders,
Thank you for my previous loan that enabled me purchase phone accessories which raised my sale up 25%. With this loan I am planning to add more stock of mobile phones since the demand from my customers has been very high.
When granted this loan this how i intend to use:-
1). 4 Tecno mobile phones @ USD 20 = USD 80
2]. 4 Itel mobile phones @ USD 18 =USD 72
3]. 3 Nokia 105 @ USD 16 = USD 48
This stock of mobile phones will increase my profit margin with 35%
Thank you for supporting my project.
