About Me
I am Senegalese in nationality, I am 25 years old and live in Dakar. My name is Saer Ndaw and act as a commercial medical agent at a company called Sodomed (Société d’équipement Médicaux) and I am looking to open my own business to distribute medical products which will allow me to employ between 5 and 10 people over the next four years.
My Business
The distribution of medical products in Senegal has become a very profitable business for the people that know how to do it, have experience in the business or have professional training in the medical industry (pharmist, med student or biologist). Concerning my previous loans, I’ve borrowed 850,000CFA (roughly $1700) from my employer SODOMED which I soon repayed completely. This money allowed me to finance my professional studies in the medical industry.
Loan Proposal
We are approaching the rainy season, a time when there are often scarcities and interruptions in medical products such as syringes, perfusors, cottons and catheters, etc.; which are the very products that are needed to combat diseases like malaria which are very frequent during this period. I am a businessman without a lot of investment capital, but I go often to various vendors to purchase medical products which I sell to my clients (clinics, hospitals, health centers). This is why I am looking to you for help.

En effet la distribution de produits médicaux au Sénégal est devenue une activité très rentable pour les gens qui ci connaissent, qui ont une expérience sur cette business ou bien qui ont une formation professionnel sur le domaine médicale (être pharmacien, délègue Médicale de formation ou bien être un biologiste).
Concernant les créances précédant je tiens à vous dire que j’ai une fois emprunter de l’argent d’un montant de 850 000 F CFA au sein de mon structure SODEMED que j’ai ensuite remboursé totalement. Cet argent ma permis de financer mes études professionnels dans le domaine médicale.
Loan Proposal
While preparing for the rainy season, malfunctions in certain medical products happen often (such as syringes, perfusors, cottons and catheters, etc…); some products that fight diseases like malaria are in high demand during this period. I am a businessman without means and will buy medical pieces and products to sell to my clients (clinics, hospitals, health centers). This is why I am looking to you for help.
En vu de préparer la grande saison des pluies, des ruptures de matériel médical dans ce pays ont souvent lieu durant la période de l’hivernage tels que (les seringues, les perfuseurs, les cotons, les cathéters…etc.); des produits qui permettent surtout de lutter contre les maladies comme le paludisme qui est très fréquent durant cette période. Donc comme je suis commercial qui n’a pas beaucoup de moyens et qui va souvent acheter de parts et d’autres des produits médicaux pour en suite venir les vendre à mes clients (clinique, hôpital et centre de santé), raison pour laquelle je viens vous solliciter votre aide.
