Flour, sugar, and margarine for my bakery

Entrepreneur

About Me

Hi, my name is Baah Emmanuel. I am 25 years of age. At the age of four, I lost my father. My parents were farmers so I helped my mother at the farm. I was very determined to go to school so my mother helped me little by little. When I completed Junior High School, I started a small bakery to support her. I was able to raise a little money and with the help of my mother I went to High School. I used to come back from school to work at the bakery. I saved small money by three years time and enrolled at the University. I am currently in my final year at the University and still doing the bakery business.

My Business

I bake bread and supply to local store owners and collect the money at the end of every week. I use wheat flour which cost GHS 180 per bag, sugar which cost GHS 220 per bag and margarine which cost GHS 240 per box and some other minor ingredients. Mostly I buy these items on credit and pay at the end of the week with an interest of about 19% on these items. i have to accept it because that's the only choice I have. I pay all the expenses at the end of the week and save part for the business and part for my school. I recently bought a new large oven to support the old one.

Loan Proposal

I would buy two bags of flour which cost $40 each,two bags of sugar which cost $36 each and two backers of Madeline which also cost $23 each. With this,I won't pay any additional $5 if I were to buy them in credit ad interest. These $5 each is about $30 .This would come back as profit in addition to my normal profit per week. This would lead to a great increase in my income level. Therefore the business would expand in no time. All thanks to zidisha. God blessed you all...
