I was born in a family of 7 to peasant parents,I being the firstborn in the family.Life back then was very tough as my parents had to really struggle in order to sustain our primary needs.After i cleared my high school education there was no money to sustain further education to the university level.I then decided to go to the city to look for a job but with no success.This forced me to venture into business in order to get something small to sustain myself in the city as well as assist my parents financially.I therefore opened up a cafeteria to sell deep fried foods.
The business mainly deals with sale of deep fried foods.I started the business after looking for a job without success. My biggest challenge is and has always been lack of adequate capital to efficiently serve my customers.I serve the nearby neighborhood and my dream for the future is yo open up a chain of similar service. My pride lies majorly on the satisfaction of my customers.
I intend to use the loan to expand and renovate my business space and purchase more stock of potatoes to prepare chips. Increased space will accommodate more customers and increased stock will lead to more sales. My income will increase and I will be able to improve my life.
