About Me

Hallo,i'm Simon kuria from Kenya iam 27 yrs,iam not married,I stay in Thika town starehe estate.I'm raised from a very humble family where i'v 5 siblings and iam the last born in our family.I started casual labour works at rural home after my secondary school where by i was paid ten dollars per month and with my little savings I managed to safe some money and payed a course at my friends workshop of mobile phone repair and after hardwork he employed me.After working for three years I managed to open my own shop in Thika town where by I started phone repairs,and accessories which I have planned to expand if I can get money from any source.

My Business

in my business,i offer mobile phone services and repair,I choose this service to people because in my town most people are less fortunate and when their phone developed a problem not all manage to buy new ones so most prefer to repair the one they have according to their finance capability.
I also sell mobile phone accessories where i buy my stock at wholesale price in capital city Direct from wholesalers at cheap price which enables me to sell them at a reasonable price which makes my customers love my work because of my good price I offer.
The reason why I choosed this kind of job is the town is highly populated and almost everyone owns a mobile phone and according to my experience and skills.
After my monthly transaction balance,i take some of my profit to buy foodstuffs for my parents,and sometimes I visit orphan children's home which are very many in this town.
I will appreciate zidisha loan since it will improve my business in terms of stock and hence help me meet the rising demand of my customers.

Loan Proposal

Dear lenders,first i would like to thank you for your support and funding.I am very greatfull for your generosity towards humanity.My business is doing great especially on phone accessories and phone spare parts since i managed to purchase most requested stock through the loan that you funded me.I am hereby requesting you to give me second loan so that i can purchase mobile phones of low prices to cater for my customers demand and also increase my profits and savings.If funded,these are the most moving and cheap mobile phones that i am planning to purchase;
-5 samsung phones model no. 1205 @ 75 USD
-3 nokia phones model no. 105 @ 45 USD
-5 tecno phones model no. 347 @65 USD
-10 itel phones model no. 2090 @100 USD.
The remaining 13 USD, i will use for transport and delivery of the phones.
I am looking upon you my lenders to please fund my loan proposal and i promise to be faithful.Thankyou

    My business growth has increased tremendously in stock and even customers,this is because many customers prefer my shop over others because i offer more varieties of what they need and as a result,my profit margin have increased up to 35% hence that makes me have more savings and repay my loan promptly.I would like to thank the whole zidisha team for making it possible for my success.My dear lenders i am appealing to you to please fund my second facility which i am intending to stock affordable mobile phones which are in high demand.Thank you and God bless you
