Purchase equipment and help fund a mobile physiotherapy unit

Hello Zidisha Team,
Thanks for the loan and want to inform follow lenders I successfully purchased my first badge of phones to begin my sales with.Currently don't own a shop as a phone dealer so purchased the below mentioned phones from my various phone dealers with the quest to sell and repurchase more.
Currently bought:
1. 3 pieces of Samsung Galaxy = 1 piece 400GH ((104.44 US Dollars)
3 pieces x 400GH = 1200GH (314.14 US Dollars)
a piece would be sold at 550 GH (143.98 US Dollars)
3 x 550GH = 1650 GH (431.94 US Dollars)
with a net profit of 450 GH (117.80 US Dollars) per each badge of 3 pieces of Samsung Galaxy I sell.

Also 300 GH( 78.53 US Dollars) would be used to purchase infinix hot 3
1 piece = 300 GH (78.53 US Dollars )
Sold at = 400 GH (104.71 US Dollars )
Profit per piece = 100GH (26.18 US Dollars)

Gross Profit on the 4 pieces of phones
= 100 + 450
= 550 GH ( $143.98 ) per every single badge of sales.

200 GH ( $52.36 ) of profit = Zidisha Weekly Payment
350 Gh ( $ 91.62 ) of profit = To buy more extra phones

This is the projected business plan and is subject to amendment depending of sales rate and profit gain weekly.The payment plan would be changed as such .
Thank You.
