Loan Proposal

Since I have began attending the exhibitions, this is how I will use this loan to buy more stocks for sale during summer and winter because these are the times that we do a lot shows, I will take $100 to buy 100pieces of 6" of wooden round bowls, I will take $100 to buy 50 pieces of half giraffe 12" tall because they go for Kshs.200 each, I will spare $ 100 for the laborers who will be helping me to do the painting, the remaining amount I will use to purchase the paints and new brushes for painting.
