During a month like these of December when their is harvest my business do give me more return than anyother month.

Loan Proposal

thankyou very much for giving me these chance which i have been waiting for along time. with the loan i will increase the shop stock for example i will buy about twenty bags of maize and keep hen in store to be milling about two bags per week and sell as maize flour, since at these time the maize aren't expensive each bag is about shs 2300. these will help me make more profit to uplift my children life style since am a window. i will also buy things like sugar, tea-leaves cooking fat toilet paper these are things which make profit quickly since they are bought quickly. and by doing so my stock will increase quickly. also i will buy things like fertilizer and maize seeds and sell then since at these time they are in high demand due to the planting season which we are in and the rainfall has started falling these will make profit for me to be able to pay these money back. thankyou.
