About Me
My name is Joseph Karimi. I am a family man with a wife and 4 children who are all in different stages in school. I was born in central Kenya where people are mostly farmers. The area is highly population and there is high competition for resources. This necessitated my relocation to Mombasa soon after finishing my formal education.
I joined my relatives in the coastal town of Mombasa where I started a small business of selling hardware items such as building and electrical materials. I am a hard-working person who is trying to secure his family's stability through hard work and discipline.
My Business
I am a businessman doing business in the town of Mombasa, Kenya. I deal with selling hardware materials for use in construction sites. This includes electrical cables, plumbing materials and common tools such as spades and hammers. I am a father of 3 children all in school.
My wife is also in business but she sells dry cereals in another part of the town. I work very hard to provide for my family and secure their future. We both hope to grow our businesses and turn them into big stores.
Loan Proposal
I will use the money to buy a few rolls of electric cable which I will the sell to my clients from my store. These cables are always on high demand due to many houses being constructed around my town.
I hope to make good profit from the sale of this cables and this coupled with my sales for the existing stock will help me a great deal. This will mean a better life for my family.
Thank you very much.
