About Me

Am the 3rd born of 6(sixC family members. Also I have and my wife is called mercy chepkemoi and we are blessed with a doughtier called Tracy Cherotich who is now 2.5 years old.
As stated earlier, I finished my secondary school level and attained good grades. Currently I am a student at Moi university campus at town campus pursuing a degree in BCOM finance option and am a fourth year student.
When you are in town (ELDORET TOWN) am located at KIPKENO SCHOOL in UASIN GISHU. When you are in Elmore town, you take the main stage for Chepkoilel campus which is situated in KVDA PLAZA actually the tallest building in Eldoret.When you are in KVDA its in the opposite side where housing finance is locate.
The school is well known and you take the PSV vehicle which heads to Chepkoilel. It’s about 3.5kmtres from the town.
When you reach Jerusalem it’s about 1kmtrs and you can as well tell the conductor you will alight at Kipkeino School as also pupils use the same vehicles
When you alight at Kipkeno School it’s just in the opposite side on your left to Chepkoilel campus. The shop which is directly parallel on the opposite side of the gate written MSOMI SHOP painted bluish is actually my shop and I stay behind the shop. And the plot no is PLNO 00211 under Uasin Gishu District.
I have been residing here since 2008 up to now.
If considered I will use the loan to boost the stock especially now that schools are open.
I will greatly appreciate and thanks

My Business

I finished my secondary school level and attained good grades. Currently I am a student at Moi university campus at town campus pursuing a degree in BCOM finance option and am a fourth year student.
Before I started going back for college I took time at home came and stayed with my brother in Eldoret with my brother who is now in Netherlands. Then an opportunity came when a friend of my brother told him bout selling the shop I am currently running.
Since we were interested and we had a business plan we came to negotiation and we decided to buy the shop as it was performing well and we bought including the goodwill.
The business is profitable as we serve both public and pupils’ and as well we serve travelLers.We buy and sell things like sugar, biscuits, Leaves, bread etc.
The challenges I normally face is lack of security, I also finish stock at a high speed especially when school are open as it’s only the shop pupils rely on.
I make sales of up to ksh.5000 per day and goes to ksh.100000 per month.
I have hired a lady whom I pay ksh6500 and assist one another with my wife as we also sell onions, vegetables etc outside the shop. My net profit are normally ranges to ksh.50000 which I use to increase stocks frequently and greatly assists me too in my school as I finish up my fourth year term.

Loan Proposal

First and fore mostly, i would like to admit that my business grew up to a higher levels and with the lower interest rates i was able to purchase faster moving goods with a good return which enabled me to pay my loan with no constrain and with short period of time.Thank you zidisha and all the lenders !
For the second loan,since i have opened up an Mpesa and its only one week old and already doing good,i will use part of the loan to increase the float and since we are using the same shop i will ensure to allocate the monies very well to avoid holding of monies without generating an income.
We have also bought Kenya power tokens machine which customers pay their electricity bills on a fee.
With all these i ope i will be able to pay my loan on time and it will also uplift my business to other level.
Thank you very much!!

    Hi lenders i wish to inform you that i will be late on payment.these is so because i just added a few stocks as schools are going through exam period and consumption normally rises high.

    Thank you and be blessed.

        Hi Daniel,

        Thanks for replying, it's always really nice for lenders to see messages from borrowers and get updates. Great to see your loan has funded and in less than a day too!

        Good luck with your new M-Pesa too, I think it's a great business to be in and something I wish we had in the UK. I know others in Kenya who have M-Pesa shops, they same one of the hardest things is having the float available to increase transactions. I hope through Zidisha we can all continue to help support you business with larger loans in future as it grows. Good on you!

    hi Zidisha micro finance?i would to say that the loan i was given really helped us a lot.we were able to increase our stocks and we really ensured a faster moving goods were stocked and we did that.
    currently with the grace period you gave us really allowed us to invest for that period as schools were open.
    We now serve the people around normally sales does not drop much as schools continue with tutions.
    Thanks and be blessed.
