About Me

I am francis njuguna i am a family man of three children in which all are schooling.I also have my own business whichi opened it for the last four so that i can invest from it and also i can help myself and also to educate my children's but due to some circumstances sometimes the business seems to bring a loss and it give me some challenges to the business.but due to all these challenges i still manage the business and also i manage to add more stock to the business.I also get some profit and also i manage to save some of the money

My Business

My business deals with selling of hardware.I started my business which helped me so much in educating my childrens and also adding more stocks to the business.But due to some of challenges i get to the business sometimes it make alot of loss but still i manage it.Am thinking of opening another business still for hardware because i have is making alot of profit and also is well known to many peoples.The business deals with selling of spare parts like cars spare,motorbike spare,biycles spare and many other.

Loan Proposal

Thank you so much for the previous loan that I received I used it nicely I found alot of profit that helped me soo much Now this loan I am going to use it expand my business and start minor repair of vehicles that I will be selling my spares too.

    Francis,

    I have been trying to figure out why your loans have been so slow to fund compared to other loans by other fathers who are supporting all of their children to be in school, and with excellent repayment histories. Posting a smaller loan did seem to help with the one you just repaid, but it still took a long time to fund.

    Maybe try using a different photo where it does not appear that you are smoking a cigarette? (Or the Shell company sign?)

    My apologies in advance as I expect these will sound like weird suggestions, but there must be some subtle thing that is keeping people from supporting your worthy request.

    Maybe try posting a new photo of you with one (or all) of your children?

      Dear Jan73,

      I think you are right towards that advise,actually he should look on two things:-1 Should consider describing well on how he is going to use the loan.2 A good picture taken from his business.
      If he takes your advise he will get funded.

      Thank you,
      Mongola

    Francis, I am sorry for any confusion. I was writing to Jossy2011 who claims he lent money to you, and to others, in exchange for wanting you and others to support him when he posts a loan.

    The intention of my note was to make it clear that you (and others) are under no obligation to lend or give money to someone like Jossy2011 in exchange for them posting good wishes to you.

    I do hope you reapply for a loan. I would like another opportunity to invest in your business.

    Thanks

      Jossy2011, I do not see any "dollars thrown" towards Francis by you for him to 'reciprocate the gesture' when you list a loan, which is not how Zidisha works, in any case. I expect Francis to use all of the money loaned to him in exactly the way he has stated in his loan proposal, not taking an additional risk with it by re-lending it out to others such as yourself. Please review Zidisha's process for borrowers found at www.zidisha.org/microfinanc... Specifically, notice that the endorsements you will need are from your family, neighbors or work associates, and the leader of an organization in your community, not from other borrowers with no other connection to you.
