My Business

My business has two major sections. Autopaint sales and auto repair services. It is located at Karatina town, Nyeri Nairobi high way, next to Karatina stadium. As a way of giving back to the society I started auto repair training to youth in the community. we offer practical skills needed to the youth to enable them earn a living. This entails panel beating, spray painting and mechanic skills at a subsided cost. In addition i offer Auto paint sales to garages in karatina town. s my business niche focuses impacting skills to form four leavers as they wait to join colleges and other institutions.
My business goals include
1. To establish a profitable and sustainable business in autopaints
2. Offering the best Auto paint to customers.
3. To be the leading autopaint sales and services provider.
4. To reach out to 20 youths every year.

The business unit generates an average of 8000$ per year. Part of this income is used to support my family while the rest is used in the business as the working capital. The main challenge facing my business currently is limited space, inventory and equipment to match with upcoming technology.
