My Business

I started my business 4 years ago with a small amount of Kshs. 10000, it wasn't easy but with the small salary I used to earn while working as an account in some petroleum company I grew it up-to ksh. 200000. with your support I have been able to maintain good stock and now operating a stock of over 500000 average profit on a busy day is kshs. 5000 other day 2000. and am targetting a profit of kshs. 10000 per day which am seeing the potential as a plan to open a branch of the same. I opened a branch and it is doing well. I thank God.

    Hello Dorothy,
    I read your post on the forum and am contributing what I can to your loan. I am posting detailed comment on the forum as well which hopefully helps further.

    You are taking a big step of switching from retail to wholesale. Wish you all the best.

    I have no idea why your loan isn't funding. This must feel discouraging for you. Please - keep trying! Sometimes this happens - your loan is a good one - hopefully next time!

    Hi Dorothy - Just wanted to share an idea with you - I mentioned this earlier - the name of your store is "Doll fashions". I believe people think you are making/selling clothes for toy dolls, and for many people, they would not be interested in funding this type of project. This is just my opinion, but I shared your loan request with a few people, and that is the first comment they had as well. So - my suggestion to you is to change the name of your loan - such as "clothing store" or "adding inventory to my women's and men's fashions".

    Hi - if your loan doesn't fund, I hope you try again! Just so you know, your business is showing up as "Doll fashions", and as a lender, I assumed that meant you were making clothing for toy dolls.....I realize you are actually stocking your clothing store for people....consider making this more clear to potential lenders? Good luck!

    Dorothy - If your loan doesn't fund, I hope you try again! Sometimes this happens, depending upon how many loans are out there. You have a good project - I hope it funds! Good luck!
