About Me

My name is Fredrick Ouma Okwanyo from Homabay county Oyugis town, i was born in Oyugis town in the year 1994 . I attended Oyugis primary school from the year 2000 to 2008 there after joined Agorosare high school and sat for my KCSE in the year 2012 and obtained a mean grade of B [plain]
Finishing my secondary education was a problem, i had to work tirelessly hard in my mothers business of selling fish during holidays and weekends and sometimes evenings to resolve educational requirements. Another problem arises from my father as he was seek-ling. He actually ended dead when I was sitting for my KCSE examination.
I initiated a simple grocery shop when I detected there scarcity and that they were only available in the major shopping center . The residents had no option rather than acquiring these goods that far. It was a motivation to start the same in the estates where i stay and also since the passion that i had acquired in running my mothers business.
Where i live many people like natural food like vegetables and cereals hence this drive me to start this type of business.
Personally I would like a family that works together as one team in business, I expect my descendants to embrace good business ideas of profit making and proper understanding of the opportunity. in any ecological setup. I would expect them specialize in business profession in matters of education since there is scarcity of job opportunities so that in future they can be self independent without formal employment. Creativity is what I nature.
During my free time i do listen to gospel songs and watching football.

My Business

My business deals with selling of goods such as kales, tomatoes,onions, peppers and cereals for consumption. These goods are in demand since very many people like natural food and since food is a basic requirement hence they are on demand.
After realizing what people around were really in need of , i decided to start in of which it picked up so fast because i had saved very many from going long distance to acquire the goods.
My typical are as follows; kales-20 Dollars, tomatoes-25 Dollars, onions and peppres-25Dollars,cereals-50 Dollars and my total running capital is amounting to 120Dollars
I always add stock of 45- Dollars and do save 25- Dollars for emergency towards my business. The rest are used as running capital.

Loan Proposal

When my loan is funded, i will increase my stock as follows; cereals-15-Dollars, peppers and onions-10 Dollars, kales-10 Dollars, tomatoes-10-dollars this will ensure all times availability of good to my customers.
My plan is to expand my business and move from stall to a wonderful shop that shall accommodate all varieties of vegetables and cereals that am not able to stock now and this kind of shop shall be of help to customers who have to walk up to town to buy them.
By increasing my stock, my running capital shall increase hence an increase in profit by 30-Dollars.

    I now have a personal desire to complete my loan. There is no much problem with my business this time round and I hope that I will go far as business should be. This is just the beginning, I now have an impressive increment in my profit inflow just as I expected... From 30% to 45% and am looking forward to making it up to 60%_65%.

    This is no much business change but it is to spread my repayment plan to be able to win a loan increment in future. Indeed I am able to report that my business is thriving very well since I joined zidisha. I have an impressive thought to maintain my business stability and for this week I feel free to reduce my installment payment just by almost half to realize the week freedom as far as financial management is concerned.

    Thanks... I have not been able to sell my maize for the whole of last week because of slight drop in price. I expect that the price shall increase very soon. Again I did not have a good business week, there was much of price fluctuations. That made me to retain my stock confidently hoping better prices very soon.

    I have to say thanks to lenders for having funded my loan that faster. This time round just as I mentioned earlier in the loan proposal, much of the loan amount will rest on tomatoes due to the current market demands. I expect 55% profit by the end of this month and a weekly increase by 45%. This will mean a good move in the business.

    Thanks to zidisha team and the lenders for funding my loan faster just as I expected. This gave a new rise in my business. I could afford keeping in touch with my customers and they now have increased confidence with me as they are sure to getting cereals and vegetables all time. By increasing my stock just as I mentioned earlier the profit increased by about 45%. I concentrated much of the loan on maize due to current market.

    For the week ending, I decided to retain my stock which were not such perishable like the cereals. The exposure of vegetables only to the led to a systematic drop in profit by 35%. To maintain the business stability I feel it's Worthwhile reducing installment amount.
