On-time repayments
91 installments • 42%
am 29 years old turning 30 by the end of this year. Married and blessed with a baby girl 4 years old. i have done diploma in business management bur i have not been able to get a gud job. Currently am employed by Styles Industries formerly known as Darling. i work there as a driver, bur at the same time am starting my own business which am marketing right now. i started a company called Verdant limited. its due to luck of capital thats why it hasnt picked up yet but with time it will pick i believe so.
Being employed and earning a salary of 14,000/= doesnt really do anything here in Nairobi. With my business i will be able to offer to companies or institutions with services like Cleaning of offices, supply of office stationery, property management & letting agents, supply of perishable goods and cereals, supply of building materials and etc. It all starts with baby steps then after sometimes you find yourself doing very well if you are determined. Am really working so hard to see this grow to something big.
Since i got a new tender contract with a local firm here to supply them with office stationery which my new company is capable of doing, i intend to use the cash to purchase the items then i distribute to the firm. The firm offered me a trial supply that will determine if am capable of keeping the job or not. This caught me off-guard because i had no any cash with me, and am supposed to start supplying the goods by next month which is just around the corner.
i would have even requested for my repayments to be made twice a month instead of every week as per your rules. This will ease the hustling and struggle to pay on time. My company is still very new since it was registered last year on 26th july 2013. It has been not operational because the proccess of attaining some certificates took me so long bur thank God because am now ready to hit the market.
