About Me

Thank you Zidisha for giving me this opportunity. Have been working since I left campus in 2013 and I can say have really worked my way through. From casual labor to where I am now. I am able to pay my rent for my house, feed my family and any other thing that I need. In those years I have been trying to set up something (small business) for an extra income. Despite efforts made, I am still, today not able to set up one. The main problem, which I know if Zidisha advances my loan - i will have enough capital plus my little savings and set up something.

My Business

I work for a financial company on a full time basis. I enjoy it here. Despite a good salary I am still holding it in me that a sustainable business can only be done when you have an extra coin. Salary sometimes does not even cover all. It is has been an amazing journey and can only be completed if i have that extra coin in business. The business have always dreamt of starting a fast-food kiosk. I have done a lengthy research on this and have seen people rise from a one-chair cafe to over twenty, from one employee to ten or more. This an opportunity to make myself an entrepreneur.

Loan Proposal

This loan will help register a business name as I continue building my credit limit to a higher amount and be able to build up a business. Have been able to get a place where I am able to set up as soon as I get some funds to help it run. Dear lenders, with your trust, I will be able to work extra harder to make sure this works for me. Currently am scouting on areas where i can get a good and reliable source for potatoes. This will help me them available anytime i need them because constant supply is core to any business.

    Hi Zidisha, i was unable to pay the last loan you gave due to financial constraints and i am sorry about that. I have since repaid all. I am requesting for another amount so that I can be able to rebuild my credit worthiness. I am stable now and able to repay. Thanks.
