About Me

I am always thrilled by challenges and avoids comfort zone at all cost.I grew up with my dad who was always selling everthing ranging from cereals,vegetables and cloths.Many at times I would be left selling the stock while he worked tirelessly to replenish the stock.At age of 15 I would balance accounts comfortable and this inspired to pursue finance at undergraduate level.my first business was buy and sell of incandescent bulbs at both retail and wholesale level.I come from a village where every man set to the farm at the first cock-crow.so you have to find something to do at cock-crow.My pastime activity is trading online on FX

My Business

I currently do online jobs which entails assignments,advertisements and web hosting.I have been doing it as part time but now I have decided to venture full into it.currently,I work from the house to save on office space cost.i own one laptop with a few stationery to facilitate the running of the business.I intend to employ two additional people,mostly the undergraduates,to meet the growing demand for online assignments,web hosting and advertisement

Loan Proposal

I intend to purchase a HP laptop to boost revenue from my online freelancing venture.The laptop will cost $150 and would require an additional headcount for its operation.

An additional laptop implies additional employment opportunity and this will increase my revenue by approximately 20% after deducting operating expenses.

    Being my first loan,my previous loan did not have a significant contribution to my venture since I only received 20% of the approved amount.Nevertheless,I managed to buy my second laptop through a top up from my saving.

    I am looking forward to my second loan to purchase my third laptop.This would boost my income and subsequently make a difference in life

    My revenue has increased by $60 after acquiring a additional laptop. Though most of it went to repaying the loan but am optimistic that when I get the 3rd laptop and employ additional person then I will break even. Thanks Zidisha
