My Business
My business is mainly second hand clothing, beddings, curtains, school bags, hand bags and rugs.
I target mostly the under privileged to who I either give on credit or on cash basis on my stand which is just located near the station in Ndola town center.
My capital was from my salary, I chose this kind of business because I had work around my capital and so far its going well than my expectations.
I don't have much expenses, its just transport to and from Lusaka where I buy the bales from and to pay my employee. I have only employed one person to help and am working and I take over during the weekend.
From the profits I get,i have started saving and part of it usually goes to paying school fees and the up keep at home.

Loan Proposal
With this loan I will buy three bales, this time am buying from Tanzania/Zambia border. And continue selling on cash basis to individuals. If all goes well I can even travel back by end of September for another consignment.
