My Business

I sell flour, sugar, baking flour,soap,body lotions, cereals and Bread.

The goods are on demand because they are used everyday as food and keeping the body neat and healthy.

I chose this type of business because where I am located there was no one to sell the items and people had to walk for long distances to find them.

I spend 6$ on paying revenues and house rent.

I use the profits to grow the business and buy more stock of the shop commodities

Loan Proposal

In Kenya right now a bag of 50 kg of sugar goes for $54. I want to purchase a bag of sugar worth that amount and I expect to receive a profit of $8 that I will use to buy cooking oil for sale. Each kilogram of sugar goes for $1.4 and its on high demand in the area where my shop is located. Its a basic commodity among the people. I usually sell up to 15 kg per single day that gives me a profit of around $3.4. Therefore this loan will increase my chances of having more commodities in my grocery shop because each profit received is invested in something else
