About Me

My name is Godfred Takyi. Am 23 years old boy and dark in complexion. I am 1.6 feet tall. I am single. I started my childhood education at the age of 3 years at Voice Of Deliverance school (Berekum). A young boy who was interested in Mathematics and Business started selling pens, exercise books and pencils at School at age of 8 years using my little pocket money. I started selling recharge cards after completing my Junior High School, even-though it was difficult combining school and little trade. My step-father who saw me as a little boy interested in marketing got me a kiosk. I sold soft drinks, biscuit etc (provisions) up till date. I live in a place where most of the people are very friendly and respect each others views and the environment is conducive for most businesses. I like reading a lot and playing games.

My Business

After years of hawking i was able to secure a kiosk from my step-father in my community to continue my business which i have operated for a year now. My dream is to operate a Super Market but as at now am running a provision store (kiosk) selling (soft drinks, bottle water and biscuit) in a small quantity. A lot of the customers always ask for other goods that i do not have although the business usually runs fast but the profit earned are used to purchase the same goods because it is in lesser amount. The loan will be used to purchase different types of goods and the other goods i do not have in a larger quantity. (upgrading)

Loan Proposal

For the stock, I will buy 3 crates of coke, sprite and fanta each for ¢100. 3 boxes of vodka for ¢80. 2 boxes of bottled water for ¢50 and a 1 box of biscuit for ¢20

    Godfred said he is going through some financial constrains. I therefore advised him to adjust his payment and pay any little amount he is comfortable with which he was glad to do. I believe he will make payment very soon.

    Thank you my Lenders. I appreciate your willingness to support others.
    I will buy various types of soft drinks for my store

  • Godfred    Apr 5, 2019

    I bought different kinds of soft drinks such as canned and bottled coke cola, fanta, sprite, malt, fanta lemon, bottled water, biscuit, blue jeans, etc.
    I was able to get enough drinks in a stock.
    Business was moving in a slow pace so my earnings increased to about 5.5%.
    I invested my earnings into the business.
    We are all happy about the business.

    I was having some challenges with my network providers (mtn), so I couldn't use my Mtn mobile money to pay my loan due for over a year now.
    I had an interaction with one of the mentors and he said there have been some updates so I can use different network's mobile money to pay.
    I have paid my past loan due

    Though Godfred's phone is switched off, one of the numbers provided by him on his page is still active but the person keeps reigning insults and attacks one whenever I call to find out about him. It's very disappointing finding myself in such a situation. Thanks

    Market is going well but at a slow rate. So am reducing it in order to pay my installation amount on time.

    I have tried severally to reach Godfred but to no avail though his number goes through, he doesn't answer. I tried to reach one of his references and thankfully I was able to reach the person(Timothy) that invited him and he promised to see to it that all outstanding payments would be made.

    There have been some ups and downs at market. My loan was disturbed to on 28th December 2017 at a time when customers were done with their Xmas shopping. Customers are not coming in to buy goods because they have spent all their money during de Xmas season. Sales are down this days but hoping to pay my loan at due times

    Market or business has not been simple for me this days as I previously get, as different entrepreneurs are also intruding in my community. Competition is high this times.
