About Me

I am Victor Kipkurui aged 27. I am married and a father of one child. I have a diploma in Banking and Finance from Rift Valley Institute of Science and Technology. I live in Kabachia Estate Nakuru Town, Nakuru County opposite ebony wooden gate plot number 146.
I started my business of selling electrical appliances in 2011, just after completing college. I started it because I saw growth in demand for electrical appliances in my town.
I will use the earnings from my business for expansion, payment of my bills and looking after the welfare of my young family.

My Business

I sell electrical appliances in Nakuru Town, Nakuru county behind Rift Ralley Sports Club next to Gilanis supermarket. Nakuru is a fast growing town, that has created a high demand for electrical appliances because of the new residential housing developments. There is also a great need for their repair, replacements. My electrical shop thrives because I provide quality appliances coupled with good customer service that I have developed over the three years in business. I generate between USD 190 and USD 280 profit per month which l use to add stock to the business and support my family. So a Zidisha loan will help me increase stock and also open other outlets, providing employment to others and helping me run and grow the business.

Loan Proposal

when l get the loan will be able to get the customers the electrical appliances that is best suited for their homes.the government currently emphasizes on the use of energy saving bulbs and having seen a market in that, that is what i want to bring more in my shop.I will use 100 dollars on energy savers and 50 dollars on building shelves to put the stock.proceeds from this business i will use to augment my business and pay the bills.
