My new branch of training learners computer skills and tailoring and dress making is not doing well for I have not yet enrolled learners who can make me meet my weekly payment installment of 500. I therefore need tor educed it to 300 till when the enrollment will pick then I will increase .

The new branch that I started has taken long to pick so the income I am getting is low to meet my weekly payment that is why my payments are made a bit late.

Hi Stephen,
I am sure your school will continue to grow, it takes awhile sometimes for people to become aware of a new business. Best of luck to you in your work, it is a great role you are playing to improve the lives of others. With Regards, Margaret

i have opened a new branch in a different location and it may take time for people to register in order to learn the skills i am offering. i will adjust as soon as the enrollment picks.
