About Me

My names are Kennedy Shandulwa Mulube, aged 25. I grew up as an average kid raised by my mum and dad, who were both doing business: mum was a hairdresser and my dad is a tyre seller.
- I did my grade 1-7 school at Buma Basic School and 8-12 at Nyimba High School.
- When my mum died in 2014, things became hard home since she was the chief provide[r of the] home, and by then I was about to write my exams so I deferred them.
- I got inspired by my mum and my dad, who raised us with business, so when things became hard I realized I had to see things on the different picture, so I had to think which business was truly best for this area. I thought of hardware, which is kind of unique and that's how I started my business.
- The area is high density and some time back people used to go to town just to buy building utensils, and now I brought the goods near their homes.
- I play chess in my leisure time.

My Business

I sell building utensils and electrical equipment.
- The area is high density and the business of hardware is kind of unique, and I have been running it in the same area for a long time now so the place is well known.
- It [the business] has high profit and it's unique.
- I use the profits I make to feed my family, and l also provide transport for my two young brothers.

Loan Proposal

I want to buy more goods in my shop and I want to order those things that I haven't been ordering lately. Because what I recently observed is that at times people will be coming to my shop asking for what I don't have, so I'll have no other choice except to go and get [items] from one who is doing my business nearby.

I want to buy 4 tin paints (5 litres) and each costs $15. I also want to buy widow part box which is $15 and there are 20 packets, so I sell them at $1.20 each. And I also want to buy electrical cables (red, black and green): each costs $20. I want to buy electrical adapters 1*10 and each costs $2 and I sell these each for $5. I also want to buy cooker plats 1*10 and each costs $2 and I sell them at $4 each. I want to buy wire nails: 15kgs costs $30 and I sell them at $5 per kg. I want to buy iron sheet nails, which costs $30 for 10 kg.
