I started making shaggy mats last year and so far it's been a thrilling journey. I also want to sell second hand clothes and shoes. The world of business is very challenging and requires a very sharp mind. Business has been slow for the past three months and this has made it difficult for me to make any meaningful progress, but with the patience that my business has taught me, I hope to make it through this difficult season. I have also learnt new things in the process which I hope to pursue to make positive progress.
I began making shaggy mats as a hobby, then later with the money I had acquired from my savings. This started from a simple KES 1000 that I had saved during a very difficult season. I say misfortunes can birth good things. I want to start this clothes business with only a few pieces of clothes. I intend to build it up to a wholesale level. For the shaggy mats, I also want to expand to a wider market as I also train other interested women at a fee.
This loan will go a long way in helping me purchase my working tools for expansion. I need tapestry, balls of wool, crotchet, pair of scissors and marker pens for bringing out the designs. since I am looking forward to making more profit, the incorporation of more hands to help or train will definitely give me more to repay my loan n build the business. for the training I will get to charge for my equipment as well as my services. a win-win situation.
