My name is Jimoh Agoro, I was born on February 22, 1975 in Nigeria. I am married and the father of three children, two boys and a girl. I am in the barbershop business. Until 1993 I lived in Nigeria, and when I came to Burkina Faso I decided to become a barber. This business is going very well for me, especially right before the holidays when everyone wants to look good, when I make great profits. I would like to benefit from a Zidisha loan with the objective of strengthening my business, growing my shop and managing it better.
My principal business is a barber shop, a skill I learned with my brother after having to stop my studies. I have five years of experience in my own salon. In a month I can earn US $200 in revenues. The rent costs costs me $60, and in addition I have some small expenses like buying alcohol and hair coloring. I also pay taxes of $40 FCFA per month. Two of us work in the barbershop, and the price is $0.60 - $0.80 per customer. There are times when my clients give me more than than (i.e., leave me a gratuity) because of the service I have provided to them. I also will do haircuts in clients' homes.
My principal business is a barber shop, a skill I learned with my brother after having to stop my studies. I have five years of experience in my own salon. The loan I am requesting once more will strengthen my independence and increase my service offerings, because I will be able to integrate necessary products. Thank you for this opportunity and long life to the Zidisha organization.
