Trade and repair of cell phones

Albina O.

Albina is 36 years old, married and has a daughter. She founded her own company in 2015 and despite strong competition in the cell phone market, Albina was able to successfully position herself in her market environment within a short period of time. This prompted her to open an additional branch in Bishkek in summer 2021. Unfortunately, she had to close the second branch after just a few months due to unprofitability.

Project description

Albina is not active in the classic BPN entrepreneurial environment with her primarily trade-focused company. Nevertheless, we would like to include her in the BPN program for two reasons: Albina runs her company in a very innovative way. In addition to the successful sale of appliances and accessories, she has set up her own repair service. She also offers an interesting installment payment model that enables many customers to purchase a cell phone at good conditions. We were also particularly impressed by her tangible potential and her strong will to develop further. For Albina, it is not enough just to complete BPN's training courses. It is her great wish to be able to benefit from BPN coaching as a program participant.

Albina's aim is to grow the company and create additional jobs. In addition to the better prepared and supported opening of a new location in the future, the focus is particularly on expanding the service and repair area. She also sees considerable development potential in the area of used appliances in order to achieve added value with her company that goes beyond pure trading.
