About Me

I am an economist by training and very passionate about business. I run my own business called Bookwidge Partners.

I am an information technology practitioner (I do websites, I also repair laptop and desktop computers, printers, tabs, networking and Apple Macintosh; and printing). I am also doing taxation at post graduate level and advise on tax issues.

With new financing models, I believe I will be able to grow myself out of the typical banking model that's so rigid, so that I can be competitive at what I do. Zidisha offers me that opportunity.

I have an ongoing beauty/cosmetics business that I started with a first loan from Zidisha and I want to rebuild my profile so that I can get new financing opportunity from Zidisha. I want to build on that goodwill to run this venture into the same profitability.

My Business

I am emerging from the pandemic with fresh ideas to build an online presence and take advantage of work tax matters. I want to establish an office as opposed to working from client premises.

When we market we need a safe place to work from. Most of the time when I market our business clients want to know where I work from - I can't tell them I work from home they will think I'm lazy. SO we want to have a central place where we all can work from.

This loan from Zidisha is seed capital to get us started. I will repay and scale up to a point of being our alternative source of capital for our growth.

Project Proposal

I am urgently seeking funds to complete a client project. I have a deadline to complete the work and the funds will help me to complete the job in time.

    I managed to order for the parts, and also used the remaining funds to finish on the job at hand. Thank you for the support. I look forward to future support so that can actualize my dream of building a successful startup

    Thank you for the last fundraising, it helped me pay for labour for the hands men that renovated my salon business. This amount I'm raising will help me pay for stock and also pay some items that we have taken

    We finished refurbishing the salon. Of course it cost more than $1600 and the $100+ from Zidisha was labour for the painters. I appreciate your support that went into making the business presentable. I will come back with another application to do chairs and a wash basin and to finish drainage.

    Thank you for your support.
