Greetings,
My name is Purity Gacheru, a Kenyan from rural Nyeri County but I work and live near Kenya's Capital - Nairobi. A few years ago I worked in a Bank within the city but unbelievably for me - one morning we found that the Bank had been closed (collapsed)...and down went my job and my savings which I was saving in the same bank for over 9 years. It has been years but I could not just 'wait to see' if I will get my money out sooner. It has still not happened, but I did not go down with it...
..I have since dusted off and managed to set up my own small business. I buy and sell 2-way communications gadgets, (mostly Walkie Talkies bought from major sellers). Over a short period I have found out that Walkie Talkies are very useful and handy for institutions such as schools, godowns, supermarkets, etc; event organizers and sports events. Most people appreciate the quick way to communicate and also no airtime top ups and no network problems - Just press and talk.
My desire is to be able to stock up and have a good base for supplies so as not to lose a customer and also avoid giving them days or weeks of lead time for delivery. As the market trends move, I definitely will embrace the new technologies in the market to keep pace with the ever changing telecommunication industry.
I AM REALLY GRATEFUL TO HAVE FOUND ZIDISHA.
Thank you ALL.
I wish to use this loan for re-stocking for my business to buy accessories for Walkie Talkies, such as batteries, connectors and antennas. These accessories I will re-sell at a profit to keep boosting my business.
It is a critical time in life and for businesses and some require very urgent interventions. We have found a major requirement for quick communication by various companies and groups and the two-way radios have proven to be very handy and reliable. Additional stocks is very critical at this time, and given that it is taking quite a while for supplies to be received we need to take some measures to get more items - hence the need to re-stock whenever possible. Looking forward to success in this application.
The volume of sales in my business has gone down in the current economic climate, but it is not out. I will get money to repay the loan from the sales from equipment and also more from Repair Jobs and Preventive Maintenance Services which has really come in handy under the circumstances where many are opting to go for repairs of exisiting items wherever possible.
