About Me

I am seventh born child with 3 sisters and 6 brothers but fro a humble family.

My Business

My Stationery Shop is a registered business namely STAGGE COMMUNICATION dealing with Office stationery, Printing services, Photocopying, Binding and Lamination service.
Starting capital came from the previous work in the farm and mitumba business which I upgraded to a Stationery shop.
The business shop grew gradually because items required so much funds. Went to lending institutions where business drug so much for apart looking for funds to buying stocks I could make funds for loan repayment.
Today the business is almost at break even phenomena and I thank the Zidisha firm for their loan is pocket friendly with little interest
I have left all other lenders and stick to Zidisha firm for better performance and enhance better gross margins.
