About Me

My name is Abigail Gyamfi, from the central region of Ghana, and I am a dedicated and determined young lady.

I completed senior high school, which wasn't easy financially but I was determined to be educated and, by the grace of God, I have achieved part of the educational goals that I have wanted to achieve. I also have been able to study to become a pharmacy-counter assistant.

After I completed high school, employment was a major challenge for me.
I had to write many job-application letters, and go to many interviews,
but all to no avail.

So, I challenged myself to create a job for myself. I looked around my community and realized that people depend on imported items very much, because there aren't enough industries here to meet their needs. I, therefore, took it upon myself to learn how to do mini-importation.

My Business

I have a mini-importation business. I have customers who are ready to buy anytime my products are in. Mini-importation is really a profitable business.I have a couple of items which a customer has ordered from me and this loan is going to help me a lot in importing them. I will be making a good profit and will invest the profit into the business. I also want to have my own provision store, so while doing my research and online things, I would be selling there, too, which would help me improve my finances a lot.

Loan Proposal

Hello, dear lenders,

I am very grateful for your help, since day one.
Thanks for being with me, in the ups and downs of my business.

I have been in the mini-importation business for some time now;
and through your help, I am growing.

I have found another good product to import this time,
which would increase my profit very much, which is men's shirts.

I would be importing the shirts straight from the factory, which means
at a very low price. It would cost only $5 per piece, and I would resell
for $10 per piece.

I would use this loan to pay for the shirts, as well as to pay for the importation fees, clearance fees, and customs duty.

I would use the profits for my personal needs and also would reinvest some of it into my business. Additionally, I would like to save some of the profits for creating my dream store in the future.

I thank you all very much for the previous loan. It really helped me in many ways.
I am independent and self-employed, all because of your sincere help. Thank you.
