My Business

I started this business of vegetable vending after getting frustrasted with formal jobs.I started with a capital of shs2000 only but since these goods are in demand daily i have managed to stay afloat all these years.I have managed to take my children to school with the proceeds from there.I make a profit of between shs600 to shs 800 everyday which helps me run my family plough some back in the business.With zidisha i hope lenders will help raise the much needed working capital for expansion of the business to greater heights,i look forward to warm working relationship with all my lenders.

Loan Proposal

I intend to invest the whole of this loan in this business buying bananas,tomaties,onions,sukuma,cabbages etc which are fast moving and are likely to increase my profit margin to between shs 1000 and shs 1500 per day which will help me in moving closer to my goal of shs 10000 profit a day.
