About Me

Hello, my name is Robert and I work in real estate. I have a few shops in development and wanted to construct more. I am requesting a loan so that I may  put up more shopping structures as to grow my real estate business and income.

My Business

I work at real estate company which has two small shopping malls and over forty tenants. I'll be using this money acquired for the loan to create shopping kiosks using shipping containers ( 8-by-40 foot steel containers)  The kiosks will be built in the rural l area of Limuru, to help the low working class have a place to sale they're goods and services thus increasing they're household income. My hope is to help my community and grow my business too.

Loan Proposal

Good day, after successfully completing the previous project in good time and in great condition. I have been requested by tenants and grateful by The City Council to put up more containers for small businesses owners around the urban area.
I'll need to buy shipping containers ($1,500) some materials (nails, timber, sealant, tarp, steel, paints, windows, etc .$205) and welding equipment ($200) also put in some new water pumps and water trunks ($221). After all that put in a new ceiling with lighting ($100) and electrical wiring for sockets (barber/salons, phone charging stations). With all this done I hope to have provided a beautiful and safe working conditions for the tenants. So far I have managed to rise $1,300 thanks to help of rental income generated from my previous loan provided by the lenders of Zidisha.

Income Source

As most businesses are being shut down, we are lucky enough to stay open. The small kiosks which sell everyday items for example milk, eggs, gas, cooking oil etc. These items are used daily and sellout fast, which generates income daily. We hope that things resume to normal one day soon, but for now we are luck to generate income. With over twenty kiosks open each being a income of 500/= a day.
