Im Hellen,a kenyan citizen born in a family of 5,a hotelier by profession-hospitality industry. In this industry I was taught that a customer is always right and I grew the passion of making sure our customers left satisfied all the time and always yearned to have my own business where I would deal with my own clients direct hence came up with the idea of starting my own business to boost my little earnings from the hospitality industry, and later realized I was a business minded person & the fruits of being self employed and worked hard to starting my own business. I have a passion for ladies stuff.
I do both retail and wholesale of ladies handbags,clutchbags,wallets ,shoes and dresses.
I also retail on ladies perfumes,lotions and body creams,& other accessories.
I was very addicted to facebook and apart from chatting with friends I had to come up with something that would earn me some income through facebook ,hence the idea of creating my page "FirstFinest where I could take pictures of ladies and children stuff and post there and sell through the same social media. My biggest income comes from ladies goods as they are very fashion-oriented. I import the goods which includes maxi dresses, handbags,clutchbags,wallets,shoes and other accessories from different countries. I earn regular income from two shops. i manage to pay my sales girls and my day to day upkeep and monthly bills. I strongly believe the loan given will help me move my business to another level.
I plan to eventually register my business/getting a business name which will cost me some cash I hadn't planned for, as I intend to go widely on ladies goods and products, other than paying fees for individual shops which as per my research costs more. I will have to be paying for one license (reducing my expenses) since it will be all registered under one name. I also plan to add beauty products & cosmetics since Im in ladies stuff to be able to give my customers a full package.
