About Me

My name is Michael Owusu. I come from Berekum in the Brong Ahafo Region. I started my basic school at Presby Basic School in Berekum. I furthered my education from there to Berekum Methodist High School. My parents are farmers by profession.

I am the general owner of Owusu’s supermarket. I chose this kind of business because my place or area is very good in that business, and that place was where I was brought up. Because my place is a new site and people travel to Berekum for daily goods, if I am being given $100 in a week I can get $40 to $50 profit a week. The loan will also help me to expand my business and also employ more people.

My Business

Owusu’s Supermarket Shop is the name of my provision store. I started this supermarket shop in my area because there are a lot of people in that area and they will be needing these daily items and food for living.

Since I started this business, I can see that people are always at my shop purchasing. The main products are rice, sugar, milk, Lipton, and soft drinks, and workers rush to my shop daily for these products. Also products like soap powders and detergents are sold in my shop.

The main motive behind me choosing this business was that everyone will need these items in everyday life. If I invest, for example, $100, within a week I can get $40 profit, because as soon as I bring the goods community people come in and purchase them. My business capital is small and I need money to purchase most of the products in order to attract more customers as far as the community population is concerned. The profit will also be used in reinvesting.

Loan Proposal

If I am lucky enough to get this loan, I will purchase different types of food items such as sugar, milk, soap, fruit juice, and cooking oil. This will cost me about $150 USD. With this, I am expecting my profit to increase by 50 % per month. I will save my profit with the balance of the loan to expand my shop. Thank you.

    Dear Lenders,

    Please, I again contacted to Michael. I asked him to make payment and to clear his arrears, too, and he replied that, the payment will be done as soon as possible. Thank you.

    Dear Lenders,

    Please, I contacted to Michael yesterday, and I assure me to settle everything this week. I asked him to make an adjustment to reduce his payment if he cannot pay it afford his weekly amount of payment. Thank you.
