My name is Steven Korir second born in a family of five siblings.Am married to one wife and I have two Children (aboy and a girl). My home is in Eldoret Town in Uasin Gishu County. Currently I stay with my family within Kitale Airstrip 20 minutes drive from Kitale Town. both my parents are farmers thus, depends mainly on farm output to educate us all. due to this challenges i managed to attain good grades in my primary and secondary education. after my secondary education i was unable to proceed to college since my siblings were yet to complete their primary and secondary education.i opted for work and luckily i got a job at a cyber cafe in Kitale Town since 2007 upto 2012 then I was employed as a Driver in a Chinese Project until last year November 2014 when I left. from my salary savings i decided to start a business dealing with designing.My business is based at Kitale Town so I have a Printing Shop my work is designing and printing of all kinds like Banners, Wedding Cards, Business Card, Bronchuas, Funeral Programme, Computer Repair and many more. My son wants to be an engineer in future but my daughter is still young.hobbies are: driving, designing, researching in the internet and listening and watching movies.
My business is located along Kenyatta street at shushi hardware first floor opposite kitale cinema. I have 1 Computer and a Printer which enable me do Design and Printing Services, and most of my customers are Pastor because I do printing of posters, Leaflets, Envelopes and Banners currently I make profit of $22 per week, and am looking forward to adding more Printers to enable me serve as many customers so that they cannot wait longer. I would love to give my customers the best services that they deserve to get. i chose the business since i had passion in designing and also customers drive far for the same services. i started the business with a capital of $400 and make a profit of around $150 per month thus, enable me pay my rent and Re-stock my business hence effectiveness and beat competition from other firms. the profit i get is used in paying rent, buying printing papers and home budget. this profit will also assist me to pay this loan on time once granted.
If granted the loan i will purchase printer cartridges and printing papers since i deal with designing. this will help me do work faster.
i have one printer but according to the work i do it is not enough atleast after some few months i will be able to pay my loan on time and purchase an extra printer. The cartridges will cost is $33.33 and printing papers worth$32.7. once purchase all this i will be able to deal with huge population. as the customers increased day by day I would like to give them first priority in good services that they need thus, reduce competition from other firms hence increase in profit. with the profit in place i will be able to add a new printer to boost my business further and also pay my loan on time.
