About Me

my names are Simon Ngugi, i've been educated upto o' levels,
due to lack of fees i couldnt go to campus so i ventured into business.I have tried so many types of businesses e.g barber shop, shopkeeping, farming etc currently I'm doing transportation.

My Business

i operate in transport business, i have my own motor bike which i use to transport people in town, thats how i get my income, and it pays since people who live in the surbarbs dont have access to buses, i chose this kind of business since the demand is high and the cost relatively low, i use my income to provide for my elderly parent assist my sisters, and improve my lifestyle,i keep some poultry, and a few goats

Loan Proposal

Using this money, i was hoping to purchase seeds (beans and maize) that i will plant during the rainy season (may to july),i have acquired some land approx 2 acres and have prepared it, awaiting planting, this year i was hoping to go from subsistence to agribusiness,
With the high cost of living in Kenya, and agriculture being a profitable business, i thought this would be a great opportunity,
Farming is also a passion for me,
My transport business is doing good although i need to go to a next level where i can own property and invest,
