To construct a permanent cowshed and milking parlour

Entrepreneur

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 would like to construct a permanent cow shed and milking parlour for my cow which delivered a month ago. It has been producing enough milk to cater for the family as well as selling the surplus 15 litres to the villagers around at 50 KES per litre. the breakdown for the construction materials is as follows;
Building blocks.......................................KES 8000
Cement........................................................KES 6000
Iron sheets and nails............................KES 4000
Labuor.............................................................KES 4000
Transport......................................................KES 2000
Reinforcement metallic bars..............KES 5000
Timber........................................................KES 4000
With the profit that I will make from the sale of cabbages and loan i believe i will complete the construction process.
I expect that with that cowshed and parlour there will be increased milk production and thus I will make more sales.
Thanks in advance.
