l started the electrical shop in 1997 after getting out of employment.The business is very profitable and l do get my stock from the wholesalers in Nairobi and sell at a profit margin of 30%. mostly l stock the china product as they are cheap and easily affordable to the customers.Although there is a lot of competition from other traders l make sure that my prices are competitive and my technical knowledge in this field serves as added advantage to my business.l make an average of ks 15,000 as profit after deducting the business expenses.if advanced with the loan l will add more stock to the business hence increasing the sales.
