I grew up knowing that I am a winner, even if things and present circumstances don't justify me. I justify myself. School fees have been tricky to raise, both for myself and my siblings. My parents had to struggle a lot to raise school fees and I was in and out of school most of the time. From then, I promised myself I will work hard and conquer all obstacles. I did my CPA and was employed in a audit firm. From there, I thought of venturing into a business which will help me raise more funds to join campus. I started a photocopy and printing shop. For the 1st 3 months, the business was so challenging because I had to buy stock and pay business rent from my salary which was too little. But, I didn't give up because I knew at the end the business would be competitive because there are few photocopy businesses around the area and a lot of colleges and university are coming up.
People around value education, grades and later a good job. But I want a different culture, where children grow up to create jobs and avenues.
I like socializing with people and this helps me get a lot of clients. Also, my hobbies are swimming and singing.
I offer computer services, photocopies and printing. I decided to offer the services because, personally, that is my profession. The goods are in high demand mostly to the students and the place I located it there were no such services. I use my proceeds to reinvest back into the business
I got a lot of knowledge now on the business plus I have more clients who do photocopies and printing. I manage to get $50.00 every week and it helps me to grow my business.
Dear lenders,
The loan will be used to buy more stationery and cartridges in order to serve customers effectively and efficiently.
The success of the business depends on its solvency, and there is a need keep the business solvent at all times in order to attend to emergencies quickly. Hope you fund my loan
Thanks
