My Business

Having worked in a cybercafe, my passion for computers grew high.
In November 2014, I set up and now run my own cybercafe here in Tamale.
Although, my cybercafe is not big and consists of only 7 computers, the demand for my services is high in the locality in which I operate my cafe.
My cybercafe is located at Choggu roundabout, a suberb of Tamale along the Kumbungu road.
My father gave me a capital of US$ 500.00 to start the business. Thanks to him!

I have gained a lot of experience in managing Internet cafe business.
I am always quest to expand my business size due to the demand for Internet services at my premises. The challenge is how to get money and expand my business. even though I make profit always( about US$30 to US$35 per month) , utility bills such as electricity and paying my Internet service provider(Vodafone Ghana Ltd) always consumed about 75% of my monthly earnings.So, I make little savings per my monthly profits.Thanks to a friend who introduce me to Zidisha.com. I am very glade to join Zidisha community. Thanks!

Loan Proposal

Having run and managed the cybercafe for one and half years, with a small size of about seven computers, I wish to seek support from lenders in this community. It has always been my dream to expand my cybercafe business in other to offer more services to my clients.
I need an amount of US$ 500 to expand my cybercafe business.
when given this US$500, It would be used to purchase two additional computers and accessories. I will also buy a photocopier machine to do photocopies for clients. This would help expand my business infrastructure so that more people will get access to the internet. I will ensure prompt payment of the loan when given. I hope and believe that Zidisha community would come to my support. Thanks
