New accessories for my cybercafe

Entrepreneur

About Me

I am Edwin Kiptui, 25 years old, married with one child. I live in Nakuru and have a cybercafé in Nakuru town, just a few kilometres in the outskirts of the city of Nakuru.

I have not gone so far with my education because of a lot of financial issues in my family, so I decided to venture into business to be able to raise school fees for myself and to supplement my family income.

Since I had no one to help me, while waiting to be employed I decided to start a cybercafé business back in September 2011. I managed to secure a good location right in the Central Business District in Nakuru. I have been running it for the past 2 years now.

My Business

I own a cybercafé business along Kenyatta Avenue, opposite KCB bank in Nakuru, Kenya. It has eight computers, two printers, a photocopier and a scanner.

The services that I offer are all sorts of online services. My business is unique because I run it myself and I have the personal touch to all my customers. They will always find a warm smiling face and, if you have a unique problem, I will go to all lengths to tackle it and you will always get out of my business a happy customer. Due to that personal touch, my customers always came back and refer others to me.

I have one employee who is always there to assist me when the customers are many. My business faces challenges like change of technology -- that is, the phones people use nowadays have internet access -- but I thank God because they can’t know everything: they always come consulting, thus when you give them good services they will always came back.

My business gives me a monthly profit of twenty thousand shillings (about $200 USD) and above, but it still has many expenses that need to be paid. That is why would like support from you when I am a little stuck.

Thanks, Zidisha, for the good help you are doing to the young upcoming business men and women around the world. Thanks a lot.

Loan Proposal

I intend to use this loan to buy computers to offer internet services in my current business premises. This is because a lot of my customers have been asking for these services and also there are very few cybercafes in the area yet the demand for internet services is very high. Currently i have been able to acquire furniture that will support four internet customers and i have also acquired some networking equipments. I will use this loan to acquire four computers at a cost of 100 USD.
