About Me

My name is Mohammed Abdul Basir and I am a young man of 27 years. I hail from the Northern Region of Ghana. I currently live, school and work in Kumasi which is the capital of Ashanti Region.
After my second cycle education at one of the most prominent schools in the country, T.I. Ahmadiyya I got pulled into the enticing world of information technology from watching Hollywood movies about cyber security and artificial intelligence.
I enrolled into National Institute of Information Technology (NIIT) and that was when i realized I.T was everything I imagined and even more.
I was employed at NIIT upon completing my Diploma in Network Administration as an instructor.
I currently supply computers to individuals and private entities like churches, pharmacy shops and retail shops alongside my work as an instructor.
I believe in the phrase "honesty is the best policy" especially in business because it is the main factor that brings about trust and helps to maintain integrity

My Business

I supply computers and computer accessories to individuals and private entities and perform after-sale services such as repairs and maintenance. Laptops and desktop computers, keyboards, mouse, modems and external storage devices are some of the products I deal in.
Most of my customers are students who can not afford to pay in full for their products so I offer a flexible installment payment package which always leaves them happy when they buy from me. And they always keep referring me new customers. This is because all stores that offer these same products as I demand cash-and-carry mode of payment.
I am truly dedicated to satisfying all my customers and I really desire to expand my business.

Loan Proposal

If my application is approved and granted, I will use this loan to purchase the following items
Laptops for $680
Bluetooth/FM radio headphones and speakers for $140
External and internal hard drives, for laptop memories $280

I expect to make a profit of $200 to $300 from the laptops and approximately $80 to $100 from the other accessories.

    Of the six laptops I purchased, I made about 100 to 200 GHS profit on each. This is the greatest profit margin I have made since beginning the laptop business.
    I used part of the earnings to host a little party for the kids in my neighbourhood this new year.

    The loan I received has really benefited me immensely. I was able to purchase six laptops and several accessories like usb hubs, bluetooth wireless speakers, external hard drives and flash drives, earphones, laptop batteries and adapters and a whole lot.
    Thanks to these items, I made very descent earnings this christmas/new year period.
    I hope to open up a store in the near future so as to expand my business. Zidisha is indeed helping me grow. A big thank you to my lenders as well.

    Hi Lenders,
    These are the laptops I have bought and resold since obtaining the loan.
    There are still two laptop that are still unsold. I am hoping to finish repaying my loan as soon as I get buyers for them.
    Thank you Zidisha and my lenders. I wish you all a happy new year.

    Sales have reduced for this period and as a result I may not be able to meet the initial weekly installment amount of GHS50

    It will assist me to purchase new laptops and accessories to add to my stock.

    Started my course at AIT today and it was so interesting. I received the books and other materials for the course. I expect that by the close of the week, we begin actual computer hardware practicals.

    Since obtaining the loan, I have bought and sold two laptops and one external hard disk drive and two pen drives. All of which have earned me a profit of 400 Ghana Cedis.
    I also plan on enrolling at Accra Institute of Technology for a course in system software repair and maintenance. This will open up a new stream of income for my shop.
    Thank you very much Zidisha

    I wish to thank Zidisha and my Lender, Mr. Paul Graham for affording me the opportunity to expand my business.
    The funding will go along way to boost sales, increase my market presence and therefore increasing my monthly profit margin.
    I appreciate this opportunity greatly and would do my best to keep you updated on my progress and I also promise to always be prompt with my repayment. Thank you
