My Business

I am currently running a profit making venture with the core business in mobile money solutions. This venture has been in existence for over three years and now I wish to seek for financial support and try to grow with the service and product offerings. I now wish to expand my agency business under the Zambia National Commercial Bank (ZANACO) Xpress Agent and help ease the challenge of deposits and withdraws from the limited number of ATMs around my community. I basically want to increase the services and product offerings so that customers can easily receive and send money via the Airtel and MTN money platforms. I wish to include Zanaco as it is Zambia's biggest commercial bank with the widest footprint across the country. With increased services and products, I can therefore anticipate an increase in my profit (commissions) margins I receive.
It's against this background that my application for this loan is to basically help me secure funds that will make it possible for my services and products to be increased thereby positioning my shop relevant to the everyday needs of the customers out there. The loan will enable me order more stock in terms of float on all the three networks.
The profits that will be generated off this venture will assist me in repaying my Zidisha loan as well as help me in my daily operational costs for running my mobile money payment solution and my daily livelihood.

Loan Proposal

I intend to buy more stock (Inventories) for my phone accessories shop so as to return and keep my clients. The stock I intend to buy includes but not limited to mobile phone covers, headsets, mobile phone batteries, screen protectors and mobile phone pouches for various phone models. This loan will ultimately increase my stock levels which will translate in increased profit margins. The total cost of the listed items above will cost approximately $195.00 to buy and will ultimately give me an estimated profit of roughly $40.00 after selling all the products to my customers.
