About Me

I am a young man of 26years from the Volta Region of Ghana. I attended Gbogame EP Basic school at Akome also in the Volta Region. I furthered to Kpedze Senior High School where I read General Science. Currently I am an entrepreneur with Part One (1) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Ghana. I am also a member of YALI Network and Association of African Entrepreneurs.
As a young man, I have realized entrepreneurship as the key way to life and the future for African youth hence my involvement in entrepreneurship.

My Business

I am the founder of AGE Accounting and Taxation. Currently I have registered to operate mobile money business with MTN and in process with AIRTEL, all in Ghana with business operating name AGE COMMUNICATION AND TAXATION.
My idea now is to seek capital funding for the AGE COMMUNICATION AND TAXATION to provide mobile money services with printing and photocopy services in Akome traditional area and its environs. The community is currently not enjoying optimum services due to low capital,although people are interested in the services.
The cost involves capital and purchasing of printers,photocopiers etc. I will reinvest the profit.

Loan Proposal

I have fully setup my mobile money business and want to expand to more rural communities in the Volta Region of Ghana. This will help promote financial inclusion in Ghana , especially the 70% unbanked of the country entire population as at 2015.
