About Me

I am an electrician with a small shop that sells electrical wares at first i was engaged in installation only this meant i had to send my customers to buy the wares from other shops until l realized i could maximize the profits if i sold the wares myself and save on time as well as some of the customers would have me fund for the wares myself and effect payment promptly once the installation is completed(this apparently is the most lucrative part of the business).what i plow back into the business is short of what i would wish to have in terms of stock.

My Business

Busia is a small town that is currently experiencing rapid growth and this means electrical installation is on the increase my electrical shop is still small and at times the orders overwhelm me so if i get a loan i can increase my stocks.most of the tenders that i normally sign into requires that i foot the billing for the materials as well with payment being prompt on completion of the works though occasionally some payment are not prompt on completion with lengthy procurement procedures but as yet non has ever resulted in non-payment.

Loan Proposal

Two years ago a strong wind blew down a tree in my compound bringing it down on my house and totally destroying the roof even though the roof was repaired i have noticed it leaks in various places and hence the need to replace the the sheets, moreso now as it has been forecasted that el nino will be raining in kenya from october to december this year. I will use the money in purchasing iron sheets, roofing nails and wood, paying for labour, and opening drainages. I estimate this to cost about $ 590 in total. Assist me kindly so that i may not be caught in the rain.

    I have incurred alot of unpayed electrical installation from my customers that Haas resulted in my defaulting on the loan much to my embarrassment I therefore need to make the changes in order to stay current with my schedule and I intend to revert to my initial repayment schedule once my finances allow.

    I feel I have held the loan for quite a while now and since my financial situation allows me to clear the remaining balance in one go I don't see the need to prolong this further.

    A few weeks ago i had applied to adjust my initial installments downwards due to temporary financial set back that had a risen out of under-estimated budget costs for my proposed project, but now that my financial situation has relatively imroved i feel i can re-adjust my installment amount from where it cxurrently stands to what i am propossing at the moment.

    The actual cost of connecting the units to the municipal sewer line was four (4) times more than my estimates i therefor had to connect to an old septic tank which meant reparing and empting it though the cost was reduced but it was still at a higher cost than my original estimated this has thrown my finances into slight dissaray. I therefor need to reduce my instalment amount for a while in order for my financial recovery.

    when the loan was disbursed i decidedtohit the ground running, so iboght the materialsneededfor the construction to begin even though the actual costs have been slightly higher i am right on schedule.
