About Me

I am Richard Asamoah, 25 years old. I started my primary education at Super Confidence International School. I furthered my junior education at T. I. Ahmadiyya Junior High School - Asokwa. After I obtained my Junior High certificate, things became unbearable for me. So I had to leave my parents and I lived with a relative. I like the Ashanti culture because I could see them eating "fufu" early morning or late at night. Moreover, their language is very powerful in the sense that is dominating all over Ghana. What I enjoy most is table tennis, the reason being that it involves all the body parts and is also good exercise.

My Business

My business is entitled Good Father Bakeries. It is located at Asokore Mampong. Initially, I was the only baker who established myself there, so the demand and supply were very high and I was making quite some profit. I chose this business because my locality didn't have any bakery centre, so after awhile I decided to venture into that. The interest, or better still the profit gained, is reinvested into the business to extend my productions. I want to produce on a larger scale to provide for the length and breadth of Kumasi.

Loan Proposal

Will buy baking equipment, nut mug, margarine and flour in bulk at an amount of 1000 dollars. When such are brought will help expand my business and this very Will trigger my profit and will at the same time help me to employ a lot of hands on board. Thank you
