My Business

i am a business woman who have a green grocery a profitable one in this area. it is profitable because i have been doing this business for a bout 7 year and my family depend in it 100% in any need, from food , school fees and also cloth.also i was able to collect enough money to buy a plot where i am planing to build a place where my family can leave without paying rent not like this time when i am paying rent.the business is profitable and the demand of my service is high like now we are approach the dry season when vegetable will be in demand and because i have a place where i have planted a vegetable and also tomato, i know i will made a good profit because i will also sell to the business people who do the same business like me.the main challenge is poor road , high cost of commodity like tomato and vegetable which is accelerated by drought sometime in this area, also high cost of transport from where i get my product sometime i use motorbike which is costly.my typical monthly cost 45,000 sale revenue is and profit is 65.000 after deducting all expenses

Loan Proposal

dear lenders and zidisha, thank you for this opportunity.in this my first loan i want to do the following, in this area at this month there is no green vegetable, so because i know where to get them from the people who do irrigation in their farm,i will buy and also i have a small portion where i have plated vegetable,like sukumawiki and tomatoes in my shamba.this commodity is in a high demand because there is drought in this area at this time,also the lest i will add fruit because i have already got a blender which i will use to get fruit juice to sell to my customers as this time sun is very hot in this area.
