About Me

Raymond was born in Sunyani in the year 1990. I grew up in a small family since my parents gave birth to only me. I don't have much education in school, but at least I was able to reach junior high school level. I comes from a poor background that couldn't allow me to pursue my education to a higher level. I like playing football when I was in my early ages...but i got fracture along the line that prevented me from playing my favorite game. All though I follow football by watching but I don't take part anymore. I was jobless until a good friend of my back in the school days return from Canada and brought in some watches and perfume to sell. I use to go to her house to wash her car. She had mercy on me and told me she brought in some perfumes and watches that she wish to sell. I told her I can sell them for her.

My Business

I started selling the perfumes and the watches from one Bank to the other. In less than a week, I was able to sold over 80 pieces of watches and perfumes she brought from one shop to the other. She became happy and paid me with a good commission. I saw the profit was good and I however decided not to spend my commission.
I later, gave the commission back to her to buy more of the watches and the perfumes for me to sell. This is how I started my business and it has been so good for me than any other business I have tried before. I have lived on the profit I gave from the business since the last 2 years I started. I have saved to pay for bride price of my dear wife Millicent whom I married since last year September. I have also been able to rent a shop in the main lorry station where I want to stock some of the goods for my wife to sell whilst I still do the office to office delivery.

Loan Proposal

I am ordering watches and perfumes to stock in my new shop I have established at the main lorry station. I have already stock the shop with some watches and perfumes but it is not enough to furnished the shop. I need to furnish my shop to attract more customers. this is very profitable business and I am glad to at least have my long time girlfriend being my wife now because of the profit I saved to pay for her bride price. I have also own a shop now, moreover, I live a comfortable life since I don't depend on anyone again. I had a discussion with a good friend of mine to assistance get loan to furnish my shop and she advised I join zidisha. I know you have done a lot for other people like me, I therefore wish to have your assistance to help my business grow. thank you
