Benjamin Kwabena Agyei is my name. I come from Nkoranza, in the Bono East region of Ghana. I started my Early Childhood Education at Atebubu st. Patrick R/C Basic School . After completing Basic School, I gain admission at Obuasi Senior High/Technical School and I was offered technical as my program with Building Construction option, due to hard work I was awarded Ghana Government scholarship, I completed successfully in 2001 and I continued my Post Secondary Education at Mampong Technical Teachers college. I studied Technical education and I was awarded teachers certificate "A". I taught for three years and left the teaching job for further studies at the University of education winneba Ghana and I graduated with second class upper division. I came back to teach at Nkoranza Senior high Technical school. I was enrolled at Kwame Nkrumah University of science and technology Ghana to study for masters degree (Msc.) In technology management and entrepreneurship in 2018 and have successfully graduated.
My dream is to become University lecturer, a renowned entrepreneur and a phalantropist targeting the homeless peoples. So I am planning to start PhD soon,I am married with three children all males.
I have started a cosmetics business,paultry farming pigery and other livestock production. The cosmetic store is in full operation and my paultry business is also in incubation period since the birds are now growing, I plan to add hair products and toiletries to the cosmetic store but I am limited with finance. I don't want to put "all my eggs in one basket", I was told is not good practice as entrepreneur so I want to diversify my business by adding different products to the stock. If I am able to get higher loan amount from lenders i will use it to stock the cosmetic store with hair products thank you.
I want to add hair products and toiletries to my cosmetics store, because I don't want to have "all my eggs in one basket," as I was told that's not a good practice as an entrepreneur. Therefore, I want to diversify my business by stocking other products instead of stocking only cosmetics. Financially, however, I am limited.
If I am able to get this loan from lenders, I would use some of it to stock the cosmetics store with hair products. If the loan becomes fully funded and gets disbursed to me, then half of the amount would be used to buy hair products to offer for sale, and the other half would be used to buy soaps, laundry powder, and rolls of toilet paper to resell, too, because diversification is one way of tackling the risks of doing business.
Risk & Revenue Information: My cosmetics business is in full operation, and my profits
have not been affected in any way. Also, I believe that with the introduction of new products, my profits would be increased. That, in turn, would help me to repay my loan
on time.

1.) For anyone who may not yet know this, please be aware that although English is an official language in many African countries, English usually *isn't* the first language of
most people in Africa; rather, a tribal language (or two or three or more) usually is/are
the first language(s).
