About Me

I am very glad always to say that I am responsible for how far I have reach now. Although many people lend me a helping had, I became responsible for my own business success through perseverance spirit, hard work and honesty. My name is Boadi Mark. I am a Ghanaian by birth. Currently, I stay at Kumasi, the second capital city of Ghana. I don’t stay with my family now. I am the seventh born of my parent. I happened to be the last born. Though I may not be academically sound as compared to my other siblings, I was also good at a different field which none of them could compare themselves with me. And that is entrepreneurship. Though I was the youngest, I chose to lead an independent life because of disagreement of career I had with my parents. I like playing football. At Saturdays when I am off for work I join my friends to play in a football club. I am a goalkeeper. I believe in hard work and positive attitude towards life.

My Business

A journey of 1000 Kilometers begins with a single positive step. Most at times, When one begins to take this step, others will sit back and say things that will bring the down fall of such business or if possible discourage him /her if they could. This was what I suffered from my own parents and siblings. Since childhood, my father had prayed for me to be a lawyer. So when the dream of entering entrepreneurship came to light, my own immediate people whom I was expecting their support rather discouraged me. Yes! One faithful Friday evening during family dinning table, This business issue pop up and the end result was for me to leave the house that very moment around 7:00 pm when it was raining heavily. I joined my friends in this soft drinks business. That was the genesis of my business. I sell soft drinks on whole sale purposes as well as retail purposes. Now, I have a small car which I use to supply this drinks to my customers in the near by villages. I normally calculate my profit weekly. And yes, my profit is something to write home about. I am hopping to expand my business this year. At least to have another branch somewhere in tow of the nearby villages.

Loan Proposal

Soft drinks are of high demand in this part of my country. Christians and Muslims do use soft drinks or non- alcoholic drinks for religious purposes. Others also use it at social gatherings such as refreshment wedding ceremonies, funeral celebrations, performing traditional naming ceremonies and several others. This makes soft drinks become high in demand. I therefore need a loan from zidisha which includes a good lender like you to enable me buy more soft drinks to sell in my shop and also in nearby villages. Repayment of this loan will be a weekly payment as my schedules. I hop you will hel fund my loan on time. Thank you.
