About Me

First and fore most my sincere thanks goes to Zidisha lenders and Zidisha as whole fraternity for their first loan that they gave me for some time back. As you are aware i had applied for a second loan but unfortunately it expired but i thank all the lenders and zidisha team who helped me but i i believe that with God everything is possible. I managed to repay my loans on time. I like my job because it gives me something by the end of the day. This business some times it is difficult in most cases when you do not have enough stock, since most of our customers need to satisfy them selves by booking large stock which means one must be equipped with enough stock like most stock of kenya brewaries and those of landon dstillers which are quite expensive since one box cost approximately USD 30 and i need like 10 cuttons of each so
that customers will have enough confident. It has forced me to go in for my second loan from Zidisha. My story starts from this business of mine dealing with distribution of wines and spirits .I live in kasarani Nairobi. I decided to start this business after tarmacking for a long without securing a good job. I have a higher diploma in business administration and secretarial studies. Normally after I do my sales I restock the shop once again such that my customers don't lack anything at their time of needy. My hobbies are reading research books, traveling and visiting the less fortunate.during my free time I like listening to gospel music and at times visit the needy.

My Business

The source of my income is personal business. There is demand for these goods because I sell original things from the company and also these are goods that are perishable mainly many costumers prefer my business because I am always there for them and they get all types of wines and sprits that they need from me. Another thing is that my customers know that I don't delay in delivering the goods. The business is profitable. We people in this business we face a lot of challenges since sometimes we have other people who seems to produce fake products of the same, but today we are trying to train our customers on how to distinguish between fake and original products. For me my customers have a lot of confident since as from the past I have been training my self on how to be trust worth. In every month since I got my my first loan from Zidisha I am enjoying a profit of USD 391.792 per month. I am hoping immediately as I qualify for this loan then I will add anonymously stock to my business
Thanks a lot.

Loan Proposal

i will add stock to my business with the loan provided.the loan will enable me add more wines which i have been longing to have.i would urge the lenders to support because some of these products like for UDV and Kenya breweries are very expensive such that sometimes i don't have enough stock for such. also i just started my business in February this year so it is very new and most of my capital which i had i used it for renovation . Moreover i would like them to assit me so that i can enlarge my business to make my living good and also to be the best distributors among many.

    First of all i thank you for the loan that was given to me once again. The reason for scheduling my payment is because there is too much competition since most of the products like for UDV prices have gone up so most of the customers cannot afford because of selling price leading to inflation,but when the business picks up i can go back to my normal payment schedule.
