These are day today useful food by the residents in the surrounding /location as well.
The reason why i decided to started this kind of business is due to lack of employment in my country i sat and decided to be an entrepreneur and due to demand this was as a result of lack shops in the areas therefore resident had to walk distance to market area.
This is retail shop where goods are not much expensive compared to other shopping malls/ supermarkets .

Loan Proposal

Thank you lenders and the entire team of this wonderful organization (Zidisha) for the Good work done. My current loan i will used to buy bags of rice and other few provisions into my store of which i got about 50 to 60% interest on what i sold, my only limitation was i used to supply goods in large quantities to one customer of mine who comes from a different town but because my credit limit wasn't enough i couldn't give to him the number of goods he requested but with this my current loan i will be buying about 15 different bags of rice, 6 bags of sugar and the remaining to buy other provisions like milk, tin tomatoes which intol may cost about $250, this will help me to provide to this customer of mine his demands as well as customers in my community. Thank you!
