My Business

Again, thank you my lenders. Your selflessness has gotten me this far. See my Upwork profile in the link below to see what my clients are saying about my work.

Loan Proposal

When I joined online freelancing (which you, my lenders, have made possible), my goal was to enjoy flexibility and financial freedom. I have managed to secure some free time each day and therefore I am working less hours.

I therefore identified a project which I will be doing during the free time so as to supplement my online income. I will be selling items on an online platform. I have already opened a shop at https://www.jumia.co.ke/ (which is an online selling and buying platform almost similar to Amazon) and I have made several sales in the electronic category.

How it works.
You open a shop on Jumia.co.ke. Post products that you wish to sell. Buyers buys your product. You deliver bought products to Jumia offices. Buy sends your sales money which includes your profit. The cycle continues.

I will be dealing with beauty products and electronics. So far I have made several orders.

Recently, I got orders worth $250 on the same day and I was unable to supply most of the items ordered since I did not have enough capital to buy the items, which is why I'm requesting for your help again. Once I get the capital, I will use the profit to grow the business until it stabilizes.

Estimated monthly sales.
Electronics $ 400
Beauty products $200
Total estimated monthly sales $600

If you grant me these funds, it will take me a great mile to establish another source of income since this is what I have always wanted to do - have financial freedom with flexibility.

Once again, I cannot thank you enough. Through your lending my livelihood have changed. I have been motivated by what you do to us and therefore my goal is to eventually get to that point where I will be able to fully support my family financially as well as Zidisha borrows.

I consider your lending very key to success of this project. I therefore look forward to your kind help. Thank you in advance.
