About Me
I was born in a family of three and I am the second born. I've studied up to the college level where I have studied different courses like business management, guidance and counselling, computers, and a course in social work and welfare. I had to work as a hotel attendant after I couldn't get myself any other employment. I used to clean a hotel after customers and the washrooms. My dad found it not well-earning and funded me so I could open a ladies' clothes shop.
In my culture, people look up to learned girls and hold great expectations on them, since educating a girl was not important back then. My son wants to be a pilot and my girl is still too young to know what she would like to be. Cooking and designing are my best hobbies.
My Business
My shop entails of ladies' clothes, shoes, perfumes and jewellery. Ladies are my main customers and my clients love flowing with the current style, hence making the demand of fashion very high. I count my profit rates and all necessary returns on a monthly basis. I use my profit to add capital and cater for some basic needs in my house for the children.
Loan Proposal
I intend to get more stock for January, since the December stock is finished and now people will be looking forward to more official clothes since it's back to business as usual holiday is almost over. I also want to try out men's outfits to see how it goes, especially official suits, shirts, etc., which I hope will upgrade my business slowly as it picks [up].
