My Business

MY BUSINESS EARNS ME $340/= IN A MONTH,

BUT I HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT MOST OF MY CUSTOMERS AND NEIGHBORS WALK DOWN STAIRS LOOKING FOR SERVICES LIKE COLD WATER, SOFT DRINK, SNACKS AND BITES A PRODUCT WHICH I FEEL IF I COULD START OFFERING BECAUSE IT REQUIRES LESS LABOUR AND TIME I CAN GET AN EXTRA INCOME AND EVEN GROW TO A BIGGER FOOD AND SNACKS SHOP, BECAUSE IN OUR BUILDING THERE IS NONE OFFERING SUCH A SERVICE. THE BUILDING HOST SEVERAL DOCKWORKERS MEETINGS MONTHLY BUT THEY GO FOR SUPPLY OF THIS SERVICE FROM OUTSIDE.

I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING A LOAN OF $450 TO ENABLE ME PURCHASE A REFRIGERATOR TO ENABLE ME START OFFERING THIS SERVICE.

MY BUSINESS COSTS PER MONTH ARE $95 RENT, TRANSPORT $30 AND $ 170 PER YEAR FOR BUSINESS LICENSES

FROM THE PROFITS I GIVE$3.4FOR TITHES AND $3.4 FOR OFFERINGS I SPEND $30 SCHOOL FEES $ 80 ON FOOD AND $ 20 ON CLOTHING

Loan Proposal

IF I GET THE LOAN I WILL PURCHASE 3CARTONS BOTTLED WATER $5 AND AN ICE BOX $14 ICE CUBES $2, I CRATE SODA $10.

THE PROJECT WILL ENABLE ME RAISE $5 DOLLARS FROM BOTTLED WATER AND $3 FROM SODA.

IN A WEEK I PROJECT TO SELL 2 CARTONS WATER AND 2 CRATES SODA THUS MAKING $16 IN A WEEK WHICH GIVES ME $64 IN A MONTH.

WITH TIME AS THE BUSINESS GROWS I PLAN TO START OFFERING FRESH FRUIT JUICE SERVING LUNCH IN ONE OF THE ROOMS WITHIN THE BUILDING
THIS WILL ENABLE ME HIRE MORE STAFF TO ENABLE MANAGE THE BUSINESS THUS CREATING EMPLOYMENT.
