job searched but the only work I would get were temporary contract which aren't stable hence I saved some capital and bought fruits in bulk to deliver to markets.In Africa women are supposed as believed to stay home and raise children but nowadays we are fighting for the equal rights to own land and businesses.I have a son who all he talks of is flying and my daughter a variety as her age three.I am always consulting
My Business
supply fruits to market and make delivery's.I started with going round the town selling but the demand is high as people want healthy eating.I used to finish my goods way before day end and soon I started taking orders and deliver from home.After sometime I started ordering in bulk and supplying to vendors but still did retail orders.I chose it because the market is ready and fruits sell throughout anytime,any weather and go fast.On normal days I make between 2500 to 6000. My profits go to the business first and home necessities.Sometimes I also pay school fees.
Loan Proposal
In my new business line am buying clothes at wholesale and reselling them at a profit in retail. I want to add my supplies seeing as this is the holiday season and sales are bound to increase drastically so I would expect to sell more as demand will be high.
