My Business

I started this business of vegetable vending after getting frustrasted with formal jobs.I started with a capital of shs2000 only but since these goods are in demand daily i have managed to stay afloat all these years.I have managed to take my children to school with the proceeds from there.I make a profit of between shs600 to shs 800 everyday which helps me run my family plough some back in the business.With zidisha i hope lenders will help raise the much needed working capital for expansion of the business to greater heights,i look forward to warm working relationship with all my lenders.
