About Me

my name is Richard Sarpong. I started fending for myself at an early stage of 13 years.

I mended shoes to take care of my self and pay for my education. Though my parents were alive, they were not financially sound.

I completed secondary education through self support and partial scholarship.

I completed wesley college in 2000 and was employed by the Ghana education service.

In 2006, I left Ghana Education Service and started a computer hardware and software training centre.

in 2013, I was employed by the Prudential Bank Ghana.

I was educated as a teacher as I completed Wesley college of education In Kumasi Ghana. I worked with The Ghana education service for 4 years. after the four years, My interest in Information Technology, filming making and photography grew stronger. I then started a private office and begun doing local movies and photography.
I also recently started a transport management service.

I have grown to become resilient person and now I am also a Pastor.

My Business

I currently run two major businesses.
1. PHOTO AND VIDEO STUDIO: I have a studio for photography and video works where I do photography. I also manage social media platforms for individuals and organisations such as churches.
we do videos and upload photos and videos to their social media accounts.

2. TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT: I manage vehicles for the vehicle owners by finding operators and drivers for the vehicles. I also take care of all expenses and faults of the vehicles so that vehicles owners do not have to go through the ordeals.

I charge a commission on all sales made by the vehicles and pay the vehicles owners the sales due them.

Loan Proposal

The best camera in my studio has been stolen and I really need a new camera to keep my photo studio going.

This is very important for my studio because beautiful photos mean a lot to customers.

Income Source

the current situation is very good in my country is not negative for business. The government has eased restrictions and businesses are almost back to normal. I will be able to honor these loan
