About Me
I am 29 years old married man from nyeri county , tetu division , kimathi location ,ngooru village and a residence of thika in kiambu county where also happens to be my work place. I completed my high school education back in the year 2004 and went for further studies at nyeri technical college where I studied diploma in sales and marketing for two years. After completing I joined the aberndares maize millers for internship and after completion was employed by the same company as sales person where I developed the passion for business and started my own after working with them for four years. And which deals with sales of mobile phone accessories/ electricals in a stall and which I run up to date
My Business
I engaged in business in the year 2011 with the small amount that i had saved from my previous employment and started a small business of selling assorted and mobile phone accessories in a coridor at makongeni in thika where i saw as a business hub.
I started with a capital of KSHS 30000 that i used to stock my shop n to rent the coridor which costed me KSHS7000. after being reffered to this micro-leading community, things are working extremely good because through the first loan i was offered i ave managed to move from a corridor and rented a room in the front face of the town and now the business is doing good due to the visibility of my shop by the new customers who never new whether a shop like that do exisist
