my name is Richard Sarpong. I started fending for myself at an early stage of 13 years.
I mended shoes to take care of my self and pay for my education. Though my parents were alive, they were not financially sound.
I completed secondary education through self support and partial scholarship.
I completed wesley college in 2000 and was employed by the Ghana education service.
In 2006, I left Ghana Education Service and started a computer hardware and software training centre.
in 2013, I was employed by the Prudential Bank Ghana.
I was educated as a teacher as I completed Wesley college of education In Kumasi Ghana. I worked with The Ghana education service for 4 years. after the four years, My interest in Information Technology, filming making and photography grew stronger. I then started a private office and begun doing local movies and photography.
I also recently started a transport management service.
I have grown to become resilient person and now I am also a Pastor.
I currently run two major businesses.
1. PHOTO AND VIDEO STUDIO: I have a studio for photography and video works where I do photography. I also manage social media platforms for individuals and organisations such as churches.
we do videos and upload photos and videos to their social media accounts.
2. TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT: I manage vehicles for the vehicle owners by finding operators and drivers for the vehicles. I also take care of all expenses and faults of the vehicles so that vehicles owners do not have to go through the ordeals.
I charge a commission on all sales made by the vehicles and pay the vehicles owners the sales due them.
I intend to use the loan for the payment of the cost of servicing of one of my vehicles. the servicing is due next week.
My intention is to help me raise a higher loan to expand my business
I run a digital taxi business, I manage vehicles used for Uber, Taxify and other services. Even though there has been a major impact on the business, My drivers have been making their sales because in these hard times, people find the digital taxi more safer than the other passenger vehicle businesses that carry more than one passengers.
