My business grows up to a level of employing another two more employer without including my wife who also help me, my business name is Walucy hotel which I named after my first born daughter who also work there as my trustee during her part time, but am the manager of the business because the business I the one who own it (soleproprietership).The business Is located at a strategic position thus making me to attract more customers also there is less competition for business offering the same business thus making the business profitable, also the business I operate in my own plot thus minimizing the cost of renting the house . My business is also insured for any kind of risk which may occur such as fire outbreak. My stock is worthy ksh 40000, but I continue adding the services I offered gradually, but during this December holiday I will managed to go up to three times the services I offered due to high demand of the services, but the main challenge facing my business is lack of money as to fulfill my goal to create employment and to expand by business and to build more houses in my plot for renting.
My short term goal is to crate employment among people who have qualified in catering especially to my own children, my long term goal is to open another business within our locality especially at Munanda where I am well known and there is high demand of the services. My business is licensed under the county council of Nakuru municipality to make it legal. My typical monthly cost is khs 40000, sale revenue is around ksh 20000 and profit is above 15000 but I am planning to earning more from the business.
