About Me
I grew up knowing that I am a winner, even if things and present circumstances don't justify me. I justify myself. School fees have been tricky to raise, both for myself and my siblings. My parents had to struggle a lot to raise school fees and I was in and out of school most of the time. From then, I promised myself I will work hard and conquer all obstacles. I did my CPA and was employed in a audit firm. From there, I thought of venturing into a business which will help me raise more funds to join campus. I started a photocopy and printing shop. For the 1st 3 months, the business was so challenging because I had to buy stock and pay business rent from my salary which was too little. But, I didn't give up because I knew at the end the business would be competitive because there are few photocopy businesses around the area and a lot of colleges and university are coming up.
People around value education, grades and later a good job. But I want a different culture, where children grow up to create jobs and avenues.
I like socializing with people and this helps me get a lot of clients. Also, my hobbies are swimming and singing.
My Business
I offer computer services, photocopies and printing. I decided to offer the services because, personally, that is my profession. The goods are in high demand mostly to the students and the place I located it there were no such services. I use my proceeds to reinvest back into the business
I got a lot of knowledge now on the business plus I have more clients who do photocopies and printing. I manage to get $50.00 every week and it helps me to grow my business.
Loan Proposal
I will use part of the loan to redesign my shop, buy five buckets of azer blue paint (oil) which will cost me $150, hire a painter to paint the shop which will also cost $50. This is going to change the appearance of my shop which will attract people to come to my shop. I will also add some more stock which will cost me $150. The proceeds from my business will be reinvested back into the business.
