About Me

I am a small-scale retailer and a part-time teacher at Mugaa Secondary School. I sell basic household things such as sugar, flour, salt, tea, etc. My business on average generates KShs 5,000 ($48 USD) in profit. I wish to expand the business so that it generates more profit to support my family. I get my stock from Nakuru town. We run this business with my wife, who attends to customers when I am teaching. My goal is to have a large shop so that I satisfy my customers and support my family.

During my free time, I like travelling and visiting places, listening to music, and watching movies. I have attended and completed college, but I have not yet gotten a meaningful job because there are few jobs in Kenya.

My Business

My shop is located in Kianjoya Shopping Centre, just adjacent to Kianjoya Primary School. I combine my small salary from teaching and the profit I generate from the business to support both my family and my younger siblings. My parents are old and rely on me and my other elder sister, who is married and lives far away. So I do not really manage to save a lot, but if I get a loan, I believe I will increase the stock so that I can get more profit to support my family accordingly. The more I expand the business, the more customers I will get and retain. I want my business to be stable and growing. In the future, I hope I can expand the business to even become a wholesaler.

Loan Proposal

I want to buy 2 bags of sugar at a cost of Kshs 8400 to increase the amount to sell to my customers. a loan of Kshs. 6316 will help me greatly because i will only need to add small amount to be able to buy 2 bags of sugar. sugar has good profit because it sells fast. for example, 3 bags of sugar cannot last for four days so i want bigger stock for my shop. Thanks in advance to all zidisha lenders.
