About Me

I am a Kenyan citizen aged 50yrs. Married with three children. Doing business in Mombasa Kenya dealing in computer maintenance and sales of accessories for the same.

I live in Mikindani area of Mombasa and I like watching football, listening to music and watching movies, not to forgot traveling and site seeing.

On the side of education, I hold a higher diploma in Electronic Engineering.

After training I worked for Kenya Railways Corporation, then for SAJ ceramics as a supervisor and later joined Office Equipment Company where I worked till I left and started my own business. I started my own business because I had that urge to do something of my own and if possible create jobs and be able to uplift my community.

Am keen in investing and with good capital I can be able to expand my business to a very profitable level..

I use my earnings from my business to fend for my family, pay my rents and bills and save where possible. I also use my earnings to add to what I have in my business so that it grow to another level, say, by buying items or machines to sell to my clients.

I like doing business and also promoting others who are in business like me. I also help the less fortunate and under privileged in society.

My Business

My business entails repairing of Computers and other office machines like Printers and other office machines . I also supply computer accessories and office stationery to my clients and also do selling of computers on order. Apart from supplies i also do networking and servicing of computers and printers. In a good month make at least $1500 on sales revenue and profits.

I use what i earn to finance my purchases and daily running of my business.
Customers prefer me to the competition because i am honest and i am a man of my word. i deliver what i promise and in stipulated time. Above all i give my clients services worth their money.

This business is profitable in that most Kenyans have embraced technology and so many people prefer having computers or laptops of their own instead of visiting cyber cafes.

Loan Proposal

The loan will help me buy more computer accessories and inventory and this will in essence expand my business.
I will use 222 dollars to purchase 5 pieces of UPS’s at a cost of 44 dollars each. Spend 56 dollars to buy 10 Keyboards, buy 10 pieces of mouse at a cost of 39 dollars, buy 10 pieces of Memory (RAM) chips of 1GB at 111 dollars and 10 pieces of 2 GB which will cost 167 dollars and flash disks of 72 dollars and 27 dollars for 10 face plates and modules for network.

On buying the said items I expect to sell to more clients and this will have a direct impact on the growth of my business. The money I make from the sales will in turn be used to buy more items and also add new items to my shop.
As for my business my profits will soar as I will be in a position to sell more items than I did previously.

There will also be a change in my life since with more business and more earnings I can be able to live a more comfortable and meaningful life.
