My Business

The business is very competitive in kericho town since there has been a varieties and are of good quality.
The clothing business has been doing well and thus motivated me to venture into other businesses thus starting a cyber by the name Ideal at Highlands primary opposite huduma center which has also been doing well.
However I also do mixed farming in my home where I rear dairy cows, poultry and crop farming such as vegetables and cash crops like sugar cane.All these projects are under my management I also have some employees who do the daily operations of the business under the supervision of one of them who gives me daily report of the business.
The working capital has been a challenging factor as is always not enough, thus looking for more funding to take my businesses to the next level,diversification has also help a lot as this ensures that there is consistency in the monthly income.The main source of business is the clothe business and the others do support this business.
Loan Proposal
