Hardware spare parts and lubricants

Entrepreneur

About Me

My name Mercy Wambui - a business woman based in Mombasa - Kenya. I was born and raised up in central Kenya near the famous mount Kenya. I was born in a rural area where the main activity was (and still is) farming. My parents like other farmers in the region grew food crops such as maize (corn), beans and potatoes.

I later went to primary school and then joined secondary school. I then did a secretarial course in a vocational institution. I later got a job as a secretary where I worked for a number of year.

I later got married and joined my husband in Mombasa which is about 500 kilometers away. I resigned from where I was employed and joined my husband in his hardware store business. This is what I am still doing to date.

I am a mother of 2 children who are both in school. One would like to become a lawyer and the other a journalist.

My hobby is jogging which I like doing whenever time allows.

My Business

The business entails selling of hardware items such as tape measures, adhesives, lubricants etc. I get my stock from the capital city - Nairobi where there are big suppliers. I then retail them from my outlet at a profit.

I sell these items to many technicians in Mombasa city. I use the profit from this business to run our family budget and this supplements my husband's income.

Loan Proposal

I will buy more ropes,lubricants, tape measures and various sizes of screws which am buying and selling at a profit and they are first moving. I never have dead stock with my kind of business, in fact am planing to buy power tools spare parts when i get enough capital because the business is promising e,g generator spare parts like capacitors AVRs and pistons and many more.
