I am Charles Owusu it was a great experience as a child living with 2 parents my mother was a trader and my father was a fire officer. So I had the feeling of being an entrepreneur and being an employee. At early age it was my dream to start my own business since my father was always not at so I knew there was a a lot freedom being self employed. This inspired me to pick up business as a course of study at Kumasi Anglican Senior High school,After my basic education at unity prepatory school and sweet home Academy in mampong ashanti and Kasoa in the Central region respectively all in Ghana. After graduating at koforidua polytechnic with High National Diploma in Accountancy the scarcity of job motivated me to start a business business venture in order to earn a living and also help solve the unemployment situation in my country. Ghana has diverse cultures with great people and food. The people are largely hospitable they all feel great being a Ghanaian.

This increase has caused a long list of customers on my waiting list. Since I am limited in time and Labour, this has created the need to employ more hands on the job. Starting with 2 employees for the meantime.. This loan will help me purchase an additional 2 industrial sewing machines for the 2 yet to be employed workers. This will go a long way to speed up production and on time delivery. The increase In production will help boost the business turnover hence an increase in profit and also creating a goodwill between me and my customers.
