About Me

l was born from a family of 4 girls, l been the first born in the family. When l was in Grade 12, l lost my father who was the bread winner of the family and so our family got slit up and l being in my final year at school was left to write my finals.

My Business

l work at an internet cafe called Cyber Surf Dot Com as a Customer Care Assistant.
l also do sell clothes for kids and perfumes for adults as my secondary income.
Kids must dress up and adults must smell good, so the demand on these products are high.
Looking at my clientele, l was always asked if l do supply this and that so l decided to give it a try and the response was amazing. my cost and revenue are usually normal, but also depends on the time. Most of the times l reinvest my profit but sometimes may 2 % of the times pay for my daughter's school fees.

Loan Proposal

l want to buy cosmetics e.g perfumes, lipsticks, infants and toddlers outfits and shoes from South Africa and UK which l will resell here in Zambia which comes to US$ 285 including shipping. My pricing is very fair since transportation is in bulk than when my clients have to buy 1 pair and be charged almost the same amount as for 5 pairs so this also benefits me because l have 3 kids and as l bring in clothes and shoes for my kids l also bring in for other people which makes it a win win for both parties. my charge per pair is always 3% basis of the actual price of the total landing cost. this is how my profit is like, and that is why l have customers that are always happy with what l have to offer and keep coming back for more.
