About Me

My name is Elizabeth Okai. I am 18 years of age. I am a Ghanaian and I live in Madina. I attended St. Peter's Mission School for my junior high education and Methodist Girls for my secondary school education.

After school, I decided to venture into business to be able to sponsor my tertiary education. My mother is a petty trader, so things are not rosy at home. I often help her in her trade. I thought of establishing my own business to lift the burden off my parents and create a better future for myself.

Ghana is a very peaceful country with fertile land. Agriculture is a very prosperous business here. My hobbies are listening to music and reading.

My Business

I deal in buying and reselling cosmetics, shoes, bags and jewellery. There are lots of ladies and women who fancy the goods I sell. I chose this kind of business because it's a business that sells out quickly. Sometimes one person can buy three to four different items at one time. I use about $100 to get my goods and I get back a 50% profit, which is $50. I save my profits for school in a bank, then I use the rest to continue my business.

Loan Proposal

I will use this loan to expand my beauty business. I will use the loan to purchase bags, jewellery, shoes and make up. I will use $150 to purchase necklaces,earrings,bracelets and rings which constitute jewellery.
I will use $120 to purchase bags, $160 to purchase shoes and $120 to purchase make up. Profit I get from this venture will be used to further my university education and help my little brother start school.
I hope to get a 45% total profit on this venture, and i hope zidisha will help me realise my dreams.
