Am a third of 5 boys single parented due to a broken home. I developed health complications with my eyes and heart as a result of the hardships I have been exposed to. I had to survive on what mummy can provide which are normally meant to only survive the day. I normally had problems concentrating in classroom and after my first degree I had to become a conductor in my brothers bus to earn something since I was unemployed. Then I started my mini importation business and got employed to teach at the school I completed my basic education. I later decided to go back to school train to become a professional teacher which is what I am pursuing currently. I am single and most of the time reserve. I enjoy watching football and listening to music though.
Aside being a student, I engage in mini importation as way of generating funds to support myself through school. I primarily import women and men watches and bracelets for retail. Watches and bracelets are always on demand and from my perspective ones dressing is incomplete without a watch. This makes my items always on high demand. When I started this business I have always reinvested the profits I recoup and this is how far I have come. I was always make 100% profit on the product I sell. I am hoping to expand and also go into importation of bath towel in the near future.
I do mini importation of men and women watches and bracelet which I normally sell online through social media specifically facebook, tonaton, olx and instagram. Normally people who are interested in buying my product normally leave me messages of which I do contact them using airtime and internet data bundles. Currently am in school going after my dream of becoming a teacher to help society. Diverting my education budget into buying airtime is draining my finances so badly. I spend close to GHs 100 every month on airtime alone and is for this reason I seek for this loan. Am hoping to maximize my profits to about GHs 1000 with this loan.
