About Me

My childhood was a normal one, I lived with my parents and three siblings and also attended three different primary schools because school fees were not easy to come by. The same difficulty in paying school fees continued in junior secondary and senior secondary.

After the senior secondary, I did some petty jobs and enrolled myself in a computer training school. The knowledge I acquired I use in the company where I work now. I am planning to further myself soon. I know with the help of Zidisha I can. After working for some time in the company, I was able to save some money and added it to the little money my wife had and we started trading beauty products.

My people where I live are easygoing people and very hospitable. My daughters want to be doctors in future. I like singing and playing the piano as a choir director.

My Business

My business is a joint business with my wife and we deal in beauty products like acrylic liquid, nails, powder, nail polish, brushes, etc. These goods are in demand and useful because they are the accessories of women. All of us know that women do not take their beautification for granted; they always want to look nice or beautiful. I chose this kind of business because women spend money on them and also they buy things more than men.

Our revenue is between 2000 and 4000 cedis monthly. I can still see our location is not helping us in business, so I need to get a better store that is closer to the people. Some of the profit is used in paying school fees and other bills and some is used for reinvestment in growing the business. But I will use part of my monthly salary and part of the income from the business for the repayment of the loan.

Loan Proposal

I apply for the loan to enable me buy more bags to grow more mushrooms
And also buy more mushroom seeds,further more to repair some breakages at my mushroom house,the Seeds will cost me about 200 usd,the Bags will cost me 150 usd,
the breakages at the mushroom house will cost around 450 usd.
This will enable me to earn some income and also have some for food for my family,
Since it is highly nutritious people will have it and benefit from its nutritional elements,Its also capable of curing and preventing diseases if taking often.
Since i am growing for the business aspect of it,I expect an income of about 500 to 600 usd
thanks.
