Loan Proposal

Thank you for the last loans and grateful for the expected loan.This time thing better than ever before have left over chemicals from last time.So would start with saving my 10% as usual which is $1.34USDthen $2USD on Air time for my modem and phone for communication and advertisement on free classified learn as well as learning business skill and marketing strategy on line to improve what i know
Then $3USD would go into buying better packaging materiel since since i m marketing on line and thus important for my brand name
remaining balance would go to registering my company and getting license to be able to go into real serious business
As for workshop i work from home only and would not need any any office out there any time soon.
Unless my business sky rocket to extend that i need then would go for it but for now comfortable working from home save cost of transport and time as well
Yes that is how things are
Thanks
