My Business

My business is selling of fruits,therefore my business provides the selling of mango fruits in the market.Mangoes are of different types example are the Ngoe and the Apple types.These two main types are the fast moving in the market,and usually scarcely found in the farms where are bought.This commodity is high in demand in that it acts as a pudding and therefore of good nutritive value especially to human health.Therefore people have got no alternative but to purchase the commodity so as to improve health-wise.This commodity no only being sweet for consumption but even giving the body a strong defensive mechanism.Customers prefer my business to the competition in that I sell them first grade or the best quality of mangoes.Another reason is that I don't over charge them and that my commodity is ever ready in the market.The business is profitable in that I purchase a good number of mangoes and in a short time I sell them all that is without any being left as a refuse..Risks my business faces is transport and price fluctuation in the large market.My monthly income is ksh:34000 and my monthly expenditure is ksh:18000 therefore my profit is ksh:16000 of which I can repay any loan Zidisha may have given me.
