About Me

I am third born in a family of six. I joined nursery school at the age of 6. I did well in school, and was in the top3 in my class from grades 1-8. After primary education, I could not join the school of my choice because my late father could not afford tuition. I ended up going to a day school in the village.

After secondary education, I wanted to join Ghana African School for Aviation. However, my father had passed away and my uncle could not manage the fees. Instead, my uncle got me a job as a messenger. After that, I worked in the Engineering department, where I worked a lot on computers. I also learned to drive, and was then able to apply for a job at another firm as a driver. However, the company gave me a shop assistant role, which is more based in sales. This is my source of income is.

My Business

My business is a registered IT products company. My main clients are NGOs. I chose to go into this business because I have sales experience at two good IT firms. Also, I believe technology is running lives today and IT products are always in demand. I have an office and computer, where I have correspondences with my customers. I always supply orders after quoting, which means I don't easily make losses. Most of my payments are on 30 day credit period.

The revenue I get goes mostly towards school fees, rent, bills, and reinvestment.

Loan Proposal

I need to get a laptop, and a loan of $5, in addition to my $360 in savings, will cover the cost.

I need to work remotely because I have a new salesperson who will be using the desktop in the office. Additionally, sometimes I need ot respond to clients while outside the office. When clients need urgent quotations, I cannot respond fully on a smartphone. I laptop will allow me to respond and even give quotations while outside the office. Additionally, sometimes I need to do Powerpoint presentations, which is not possible with a desktop alone. A laptop will help my business substantially and even allow me to create more business and more revenue.
