My name is Mary thou. I'm the first born in a family of 3, that is, two male boys and I as the only female. I was born, studied and got married in Nairobi county. I went to Mount Kenya university where I studied business administration and that's where I got an idea of self employment as an entrepreneur. Before joining the university, I was a sales and marketing girl at a local company where by we would sell health supplement products and got paid in commissions. The job was tiresome but all in all ,I had to do some savings which enabled me start my own business of buying women's handbags, travelling bags, hiking bags as well as money pouches from the manufacturing companies both locally and internationally. I get them at a cheap price and sell them to my community which for most its entailed of students, business men and women, politicians and all sort of people who get my services at an affordable price. I have no kids and I love reading business novels and also cooking.
My business entails selling of handbags, pouches, suitcases, school bags, hiking bags..to my community. I provide these services to my locality since they're always in demand. I make good profits from the sales and I use the profits to pay for my business license, expansion of my business as well as having self care. I am looking forward to grow my business to the stage of a big mall in the future. I love this business since it helps me come across a lot of people mostly those who are in business and I get the idea of being determined and looking ahead of creating too ideas for young entrepreneurs.
I will use the loan to buy suitcases, school bags, pouches and wallets for my shop. I will expect a 40% profit and I will use the profits in repaying my loan in time as well as in my business expansion.
My business is well doing and there's a high demand of the suitcases and the pouches. I'm gonna help young and upcoming entrepreneurs in business decision as well as helping them learn the role and advantage of being determined in their businesses.
