I operate a bureau / secretarial services in Kisumu town. The services include:
- Photocopying
- Printing

These are services required by a wide range of customers, including offices, students etc.
we are strategically located at a building housing many offices, a supermarkets and a University. These provide a steady flow of clients to my shop. I have two employees who assist on the day to day running of the office.
My costs include, rent, salaries, statutory payments and materials (photocopy papers, binding materials, tonners etc. These on average is about kshs 75000.
The average monthly generated revenue is between kshs 110000 to kshs 130000.
The average net profits is about kshs 45000
I take this opportunity to thank the lenders through Zidisha for supporting my business from last year. I request for a loan of Kshs 11,000 (Approx USD 118) to purchase a heavy duty binding machine for my business. Currently i turn away customers who request for binding since the machine i have is for small items only. This will enable me offer more services to my customers under one roof.
With a heavy duty binding machine, i should be able to increase my earnings by at least 10%
Purchase binding machine for photocopy/printing business
