About Me
I am Thomas Mutiso, I live in Nairobi with my wife and kids.
I am 38 years old. I come from Machakos County. I attended my primary school in machokos primary then went to st Charles langa for my high school education after which I joined Mt. Kenya University where I studied business management.
Get a job is always a challenge so I opted to employ myself.
I went into the market surveyed to see what kind of business I would venture into.
I discovered tomatoes were and are always in demand so I thought it would be something worth trying.
My Business
I distribute and deliver tomatoes to my clients. What I basically do is, I go to farmers back in the village, buy the tomatoes then pack them into crates then transport them back to the city, where I repack them according to the orders I received. I also have a small stall where local vendors come to buy then go to sell.
My other clients are restraunts they give me orders and I deliver to them once every week.
My profit range between kes 15000 to 25000 depending on the amount of crates I sell.
I use my profits to educate my kids and take care of other family needs.
Loan Proposal
hi lenders, i was able to construct the shed but the rains i have been to much, this loan am applying for will help me improve the shed, then get more stock to supply. i will spend 60 dollars to help me buy iron sheets to help me cover the sides, i will spend 20 dollars to buy nails, i will spend 30 dollars to buy a table where i sell my tomatoes on. the remaining amount of the loan i will use it to get more tomatoes, i will use the 80 dollars buy 4 creates of tomatoes for selling.
thanks in advance for your support and may God bless you.
