As a young man, i know that remaining idle is a vice so right at an early age when i realized that i could not make it through school, i took to trading very fast. i completed senior high school. the struggle to start this small second hand clothes business was so tough but i gradually overcame it. As i write i work through out the whole week selling second hand clothes at lower prices in my community. i am hard working, focused and determined to own a large boutique in the near future and i believe that i have come to the right place on this platform.

I sell second hand clothes in my community and beyond since i travel to nearby towns and villages on market days to go and do business there too. when i started this business, the capital to start was not huge as compared to starting today so at that time i used the little cash i had to start. it is very lucrative, i have been in it for more than eight years even though you need experience to work in this business i have made a lot of progress ever since i began.

all my profits are divided into three, savings, i live on part and i use the rest to go for more goods from accra.

The loan will help me to go for goods from the capital city of Ghana called Accra where i will be able to purchase five large bales of second hand clothes imported into the country. each bale now cost $47 hence this multiplied by five will leave me with some $15 excess which will cover the cost of transportation for both in and out.

this aid will help me start working towards my boutique dream since access to capital is possible on this platform and i will have to keep my schedules of payments so as to be helped the more .

to my community, they will have access to variety of clothes at reduced and affordable prices.

When i receive this help, my profit margin will increase greatly and am already happy about the future.
