my name is Binam Gideon Junior. I am 23 years of age and lives in Atebubu, one of the many districts in Brong Ahafo region. I am currently a student in the Garden City University studying Biomedical Laboratory Science. I come from a family of 7 of which am the 3rd born. I am currently the source of my own income and upkeep so I engage in basically petty jobs to keep myself in school, since my widowed mother cannot afford to take care of all of my siblings and myself.
I use to sell cloths and other male wears but it got to a time, when lots of bigger male boutiques were opened in my locality. it made business worse so I had to shift my attention to a different business. I had a proposal from a friend who engage in pets. He taught me how to buy and re sell pets. I started buying little puppies, kittens, baby monkeys etc. from people, rear them till they are about 4 to 5 months old and i re sell them. Since I was already into cloths, I gathered the little cash I made and started buying these animals. I then realised it was good enough since people were so much into pets to bring liveliness to their homes. Moreover I am the only person selling such pets in my area so it's quiet convincing in a way that i will need to expand my business by buying in more of these baby pets. I am therefore seeking for funds to expand my business in other to generate more income to take care of my self and other people who might eventually depend on me.
when my loan is funded for me, I will invest it into male under wears comprising boxer shorts, panties, singlets and other items. the reason for my choose is that, it takes several kilometers to go to the next town away from my area to access such items. so I will make twice the amount given me at the end of sale of my items.
