My Business

I sell second hand clothes.These clothes are very usefull and on demand since they are much cheaper and last long. i choose this kind of business because second hand clothes are bought faster than new clothes.My typical cost is 15000 kes and i pay 1200
kes for my licence every year.I make alot of profit and i use the profit to pay my workers and take care of my family.

Loan Proposal

I am going to add more clothes and open a new shop.l am also going to buy more sewing machines.This will help me increase my workers salary,pay my childrens school fees, cater for their clothing.i will also be able to offer my customers what they need.
