About Me
Hello, am frank mwenda, I was born and raised in Meru but currently I live in Nairobi. Am married and blessed with 4 kids 3 girls and 1 boy.
For me my family means everything to me I did not a achieve a lot but I would like to make that possible for my kids.
Am working hard to ensure they get the best education so that they can have a better future.
I started my business in 2018 after the company I was working for closed down and getting a new job got tricky, I had to find a way to feed my kids and that's when I got the idea of sourcing fresh groceries to bring it to the city and sell to the dwellers at an affordable price since life is already hard enough.
My Business
I sell groceries, ranging from tomatoes, onions, potatoes, green pepper and much more, the items are a must have in most families that's why I thought of the idea, for me to compete with existing marketing I had to find a better way to coop, I usually go to the farmers and buy from them at a wholesale price, for me I don't aim high profits, because if am able to sell more it means I make more even if the margin is low, I ensure it carters for all my costs and make something small in return.
I would like to request for your input in my business, this will ensure I get more products which means more profit thus growth in my business.
Thanks for the opportunity and I hope you partner with me.

Income Source
The pandemic had hurt alot of business but this being the only source of income i depend on i had to think on how to keep my business going. For instance i offer home deliveries, which is more safe and minimize contact with my customers, i also ensure i sanitize the packages and wear masks and wash my hands before handling a customer's order.
The home deliveries have kept my business going and gaining more customers since am getting recommendations from the customers i already have.
I believe this will help me repay my loan on time.
