My name is Stephen Mbugua Ndungu. Was born and brought up in a big family of seven siblings. We are all lucky to have had a good education and personally I made it to collage. Life is not always as it is narrated when I finished collage I really tried to get employment but every day was a dawning reality of dimming options. I finally asked my father for a little capital and started a small detergent business

I begun by collecting water bottle and reusing them as packaging containers. Most of the liquid soap detergent is imported by big companies and latter resold to small scale businesses where the only kind of value addition is water introduction. Once in a while out of customer preference I would ad a scent of commercial perfume.

The culture here is quite interesting. Many communities love assisting and helping out mainly when it come to a young persons innovativeness. Women support by being daily customers. Young adults would help in collecting recyclable water bottles for packaging.

My children are thrilled by business and all want to venture into business after school. Probably help me grow this business to the next level

My hobbies are not so many but I love reading a lot and travelling.

I am a detergent supplier. I add value on powder chemicals to manufacture liquid soap and detergent

My products are extremely useful since they are an everyday household use product. Soap is one of the basic house hold use products

The manufacture cost really varies from one product to the other. But the profit margin is quite reasonable. I have a wide range of products from liquid hand was to house keeping and hygiene detergent though most of my products are mainly based on customer order due to financial constraints.

Much of my revenue is used on expenses like rent school fees and the rest is reinvested.

Well I will buy packaging material for products. Though my target was much more than the dispersed amount I wanted to buy more material for soap manufacture and make catalogues for marketing my product. At the moment we will work with what is available as I grow the business. Much regards for consideration on funding. Hop ping to strengthen my credit score in future. I am glad to partner with you in my journey to grow my business
