About Me

graduation, I have not had any meaningful employment. This is due to the high rate of unemployment in the country. I have help sales positions in some few small companies, and that gave me the confidence

Loan Proposal

My business is a photo studio where I take photo shoots. It was started two years ago and I have been growing it slowly but steadily. It provides me with a steady comfortable income, but now I would like to grow it into a big professional photo studio. This is because of the opportunity I have seen in it. I used to make a Net of about 75$ per week but after my second loan, I managed to buy the equipment i required (a new photo printer) . This saw my weekly income increase to an average of 100$ due to the improved production quality and efficiency .Most of my net income mostly still goes into accommodation and some basic needs. However, now that my income is better, i have managed to save a quite a good amount which i hope to top up with my third loan to buy a new motorbike to help me run my errands. I happen to move alot, taking photos at events, some of which are quite far from my business location. The motorbike i require goes for 1500.00 $. I have already saved about 1000.00 $. I therefore have a deficit of 500.00 $. With the acquisition of this new motorbike, i believe i will see my weekly income increase by about 15$ -35 $ to between 115$ - 135$ per week since i will be able to get more work by visiting more venues at acheaper cost. This will greatly improve my living standard and that of those i support

    I have called Okwaye,he's acting in a cunning way by not receiving calls. I had to call one of his referees to pass the message

    I was able to speak with Gira, he said business is down at the moment. I advised him to adjust his weekly schedule payments to an amount he can afford till the situation improves.

    Gira didn't know when his first installment was due. So we agreed that he starts making payments next week.
