About Me

Wilberforce Meki Oyiengo was born in 1976 and a resident of Rosterman. I went to Madende primary, Madende secondary and did my diploma in Architectural at Weco college of applied science and technology.
I am the first born in a family of six.
I started a small business of buying and selling second hand household goods since I was not able to acquire a Government job.
The business includes sale used household goods like Television sets, Refrigerators, Furniture, Microwaves, radios. clients find it affordable to purchase some of this good that they cannot afford to get them while new due to high prices. The business sustains my family being the only source of income.

My Business

I sell second hand house hold goods. This is after I realized many people prefer buying goods at a reduced price than going for a new one.
My source of income has been contributions from relatives, my own savings and borrowing loans from financial institutions like banks which charged high interests that posed a challenge to me.
I buy house hold goods from people who expose them cheaply to solve financial challenges elsware and in turn sell them to others, sometimes i may repair before selling them at fordable price. for example a used up 21`` television is bought at 8 dollars. Then I sell at 12 dollars, while a new is sold at 20 dollars. other goods sold at the same price earns good money.

Loan Proposal

Having been in the field of buying and selling second hand goods, especially house holds, i also started selling second hand vehicles ,buying recondition them then sell at a profit, and that is why i am applying for a loan to help me buy engine for one of the vehicle that are on sell, but has a knock engine. I incurred and got a better engine at a price of 2000 us dollars, therefore if i get this loan i will simply add on some little amount of money and buy it, and i know it will not take long before selling it, because already i have two interested buyers who are waiting for me to recondition the vehicle before buying it , so please help me buy the engine to recondition this vehicle so that i may be able to sale and recover the money i invested in, thank you in advance.

    The problem started from loan disbursement the 25 percent less from my loan still affects me.

    You only gave me a half of the loan I borrowed and this makes it difficult to pay full amount if didn't get all the amount.

    Hi Wilbertforce,
    would you be able to send a brief update about our business? Even small repayments will make a difference to the lender community. Thank you very much and all the best,
    Jenny

    The loan I received was less with almost 40% this affected my business.

    Hi Wilberforce,
    I see you are making payments on your loan and the lenders all appreciate that. It is good too you have kept us posted about your business. Please remember it is better to make a small payment rather than non at all because this effects your ability to borrow in the future. Best of luck to you. Regards, Margaret
