About Me

my name is Anthony i studied fashion and design in college and have a so much love with fashion.i run my own business anto fashion but currently am concentating more with mats but in future am looking to divesify to clothes as well.am a first born in my family so this has given me an added responsibliyy to be a role model to my sibling.i previously got hired by blankets company a company that the weaves blankets and that is where i got the idea of starting my own business plus the experience to handle the business and how to look for market for my products

My Business

am 29 yrs old looking to expand my business in design,i can make mat from wool that i have ready market with car dealers that are used as cover for seats instead of the rubber mat.i foresee my business improving judging from the demand that i have generated since i began.most of my work is done manually hence its time consuming and slow to finish one mat.if finance is available i want to buy a machine that will allow me to make upto 6mats in a day instaed of the 2 i have been making.the cost of the machine would be 250dollars.i sell one mat at ksh 3000 deducting cost of 1200 leaves me with 1800 as revenue .2mats give me 3600 in a day and around 75,000 in a good month.

Loan Proposal

wish to expand by wool mat business.am currently making 2mats in a day selling each at ksh 3000.my cost per mat is 1200 that gives me 1800 per mat and 3600 per day.however their is potential if i can invest in a machine that sews the mat then i would increase production from 2 to 6 in day.i have ready market where my product is sold to motor vehicle dealers .if funded to acquire the machine whose cost is 500 dollars.

    Dear Anthony

    How is Colloh Maweu's business progressing, he seems to have fallen a long way behind with his repayments?

    Best regards

    Got in touch with Anthony Kamau, he is in Nairobi for business but will travel to Nakuru tomorrow, to meet his brother who took the loan using his name and details to talk to him to clear the loan, incase he will not comply, Anthony is ready to clear it on his behalf, so he will call me once back home for the progress

    Hi Anthony,

    I see you are the sponsor for the Zadisha loan of JOHN NGUGI.

    Can you please contact him and ask when is he going to make repayments, and if he can make even small repayments every month.


    We gave him a low percentage loan, which should be for customers who repay their loans on time as agreed, regardless of issues experienced.


    John has not done that and his lack of repayment is damaging the credibility and quality of the loan applicants on Zadisha.
    If this continues, I am afraid lenders will stop lending money to applicants, and everyone will suffer in the process.
    Applicants has to repay on time, and if they can't, then they either pay what the can, and provide a reason for not being able to pay the full amount.


    Thank you for your time and effort in this important matter.
