My Business

I partnered with my mother running a retail shop. The shop mainly deals with selling of customers goods such as food stuff, cloths and utensils. The business was started by my mother five years ago. I came to partner with her on March 2009 after completing college. At that time the capital for the business was kshs 130000. I injected kshs 10000 as my contribution to the business. Since then I have been contributing 2000 every month to the business, currently my contribution to the business is kshs 46000. My mother does the day to day affair, however I always relieve her after work and during weekends. I also do keep the books of account for the business. Currently the business is making a profit of about 15,000 per month. This is the net profit after paying kshs 4000 to my mother and kshs 800 to me every month. The profit is usually invested back to the business unless there is a family matters that requires funding. in the business we face a number of challenges such as counterfeit goods in the market which are very hard to differentiate from the genuine, hence go for the same price,but of low quality resulting to complains from our customers,another challenge is change in fashion i.e clothes go out of fashion while still in the shelves, also the market is very competitive.

the main cash crop in this area is maize and its ready for harvest, the yields are expected to be high, with the ready markets farmers are going to sell their produce to cater for their needs. i intend to stock our business with clothes and food stuffs since due to the harvest ceremonies such as wedding ceremonies, circumcision ceremonies, christian crusade are going to increase in number. so i intend to supply them with clothes, drinks suchs as sodas, mineral water and other food stuffs.

it also only one month to december, this is the best month in the year, the month is busy with people preparing for ceremonies during holidays such as Jamhuri day (in kenya), Christmas, boxing day and new year. so i intend to stock our business with all kinds of wears to quench their thirst during this ceremonies. this will approximately cost me 1) kshs 15000 for clothes and kshs 5000 for drinks( eg sodas, mineral water, yogurt), a total of ksh 20000. this will enable me to make a significant profit.

- with the high population in this area and several schools in this area, i intend to start offering computer services , i am planning to buy a desktop computer worthy kshs 10000, a HP 3 in one printer (with printer, copier and scanner) worthy kshs 5000 and ten reams of printing papers (300x10) worthy 3000, hence this project will cost approximately kshs 20000. i would kindly request zidisha kenya to loan me kshs 30000 and top up the kshs 15000 at hand. i will use this money to meet my customers needs as i have described and also prosper in life, i will pay this amount at an interest rate of 8% in twelve installments.(months)
