Am a humble Christian and determined to step over the next step of life, in every day I see by the powers and enabling of my Lord's grace. The same principle of love, encouragement and growth is the strength I apply at my business place. Having graduated with a diploma in IT and hustled and searched for job with no vain. I later was funded by my uncle who bought for me a secondhand desktop which i started the business and later on i acquired a second hand laptop from my friend on loan. Am grateful to be part of Zidisha family as large, and hope that by God's grace my hand through the round goes in Zidisha I will get an opportunity to torch somebody somewhere in life.
Thank you Zidisha and lenders for lifting me this far.
Nax Graphic Design is a graphic design studio focusing on brand identity, promotional items and garment design. I am currently active in several different markets, including working with high schools, event promotions, start-up businesses, churches, local bands and book layouts. I decided to go into business for myself when I had grown as much as possible at my previous job, and all other job opportunities in my field required relocation out of my home County. A friend of mine who owns a business lettering comic books suggested I look into starting my own business from home. I started this business because I love what I do, and because I know I have the drive to succeed. I live a very responsible life, and I would never have made the jump to owning my business and putting my financial livelihood in jeopardy if I didn't know I was going to be successful. My biggest challenge is getting my name out to new clientele, and standing out among the crowd of high end design firms as well as bottom line freelancers.
I use my profits to reinvest in my business and helping my family needs.
Given the loan I would like to purchase a laminating machine for my computer shop and to add some printing paper in it too. A laminating machine costs approximately 60$ but I have paid halfway for one and will buy it at 30 $.
I will also use 20$ to buy plain photocopy and printing paper. I have been having a printer and will add another one later on in the year. However, the current demand of students needs at least an additional 20$ of plain paper, approximately 5 rims of 500 A4 sheets in each rim. That’s 2500 A4 plain papers.
This should meet the demand.
I will buy a hardy stapler and a binding machine that costs 33$ and add stationery such as pens, blank CDs and plastic bag folders which are common with the university students. These additions should make me a good profit.
When I type and print on plain paper I usually charge 30 Kshs per paper I print, that’s approximately 30US cents per page. So for 2500 plain A$ papers I should be able to make a profit of around 5,000 kshs (55$) per week.
I will bind proposals at 10$ per 100 to 200 page proposal.
This should enable me pay the loan and safely reinvest my proceeds in the computer shop, eventually being able to purchase an additional computer with the increased proceeds.
