The 6,000 was
After 3yrs in poultry business i closed down to venture in cyber business in 2012 which i ran to date.
My family made of four i.e my son, daughter, wife and i. I have always had an interest in networking and computers the reason why i started the cyber cafe business.
Cyber business involves providing the public with internet access, computer services i.e typesetting, printing and other internet solutions. The service are in demand because the public need to access government and other organizations information as well as social sites which they use to communicate with friends worldwide. The typical costs are , papers, inks, electric power, internet, tire and ware. Soo far the income from the business has been largely been used to reinvest and home use.
In addition, I expanded my business by starting a consulting business in bookkeeping and credit management. This has been inspired by wanting to utilize my professional skills to help other businesses in the community. My consulting business has helped my people in keeping track on how their businesses are performing. The consulting business is growing gradually and currently i have been able to sign with two banks and an insurance company on trade finance products. This is a significant grow as it increase the pool of services we offer to our clients.
The typical cost for the consulting business is office rent, stationery, salary for sales people, transport and logistics, internet and other office running cost.
With the loan i intend to pay my spouse's college fees. My wife has a gift and passion for business. In previous places where she has been employed she has passionately grown the business. She has always loved to further her studies in the business related courses and now she has enrolled for a diploma in business management and Zetech University here in Kenya.
I will use the loan amount to pay the first installment for her fees and the rest will i will pay from our savings. The fees for one year is about 873 $ .
By educating her i believe she will bring in the knowledge towards empowering our business and and growing to other business ventures in future.
