My Business
my business is cyber i run i cyber at mtwapa at nuru medical care.the services that i do provide is browsing typesetting, scanning photocopy and Mpesa service.the demand for these service high because it is the only cyber within this area. a party of that i do talk to my clients politely. another thing is that my internate speed is 1 Megabite which to this area my clients are saying they are very comfortable and they like this speed.risk its when school are closed for holidays then the client do reduce for a quite of numbers because by this time most of the studients are at home.but still i do make something reasonable to make my business sustainable. the business is profitable because the good day in my business i make 1500sh per day and the least that i make if the business wasn't good is 1300sh day so its profitable because its left me with something.my typical monthly cost is 15,000sh and my monthly sales 45,000sh so its profitable. for the mean my business is doing very well i have been receiving different clients from within and outside mtwapa Nuru center. this is because my internate speed is good and the services that i offer to them is valuable to them and they appreciate my services and for this reason most of my clients they do acts as my ambassadors to spread the good news to other peoples about my services that's why am getting more clients day by day. i also have a big photocopy machine i also give a photocopy services .now my plan is to get more computers so that i can be able to accommodate at least eight clients at ago because now i have only three computers running and the server which i use this for myself so when i get this loan from zidisha my target is to use half of the money to buy four computers which will add the number of my computers to be eight and use half of the money to buy Epson colored printing machine this will add value to my cyber and and will enable me increase my earnings.
