About Me

My name is Jonathan Atilah, i am 31 years of age and a Diploma in Marketing holder. i am currently into advertising and marketing of any marketable product. i believe entrepreneurship is the only solution of all deteriorating economies worldwide. I am at a point where i need more clients to do business with. I am requesting for the support of lenders to assist me with printing of my brochures so i can reach my targeted clients easily.

My Business

I sell any marketable products, currently i am selling kids fruit drink to schools. The name of the fruit drink is "zoom Fruit drink. I have about 20 pre schools i distribute the fruit drinks to. I also offer printing and advertising services, and i have 5 constant clients who patronize my services. I do designing of Posters, Brochures, Call cards etc.

Loan Proposal

First of all i thank all lenders who supported me to produce more brochures for my business. I have enough brochures to share now and am increasing in clients as well. my desktop computer is another limitation to the progress of my business, since its so slow and of course i cannot carry it around to meet clients and do smart business. As a result it has become necessary to fix some hardware in the desktop pc for more effective delivery of service, another option too is to get a laptop and i think the option for the laptop is far better than re-fixing the desktop. I need generous lenders to borrow me 150 us dollars to buy a laptop for my business to look attractive. Thanks in advance for your intentions to support.

I spoke to Jonathan Atilah recently.Due to the power outage in the country he is making serious losses in business.There is inadequate electricity supply to work and cost for generator usage is very expensive.He has closed down momentarily but hopes to come back to business when electricity stabilises. He promises to make periodic payment from his salary.Thank you.

Dear Lenders,

I spoke with Jonathan on the phone today and wanted to give you an update on his situation. He has recovered from his hospital trip last year and is doing well. In fact, recently his wife gave birth to a new baby! But with the added pressures of an extra mouth to feed and low electricity (currently in a power crisis, Ghana is experiencing debilitating rolling blackouts of days at a time) have made it difficult to work on the computer or make repayments. We didn't get to talk for long, as his phone battery was low and he is unable to charge it, but we plan to speak further very soon about rescheduling and getting back on track. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Jonathan, thank you for speaking with me and congratulations on the new addition! Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any problems or questions.

Thank you,

Taylor

I have been under financial constraint from October, 16 2014, when my wife underwent a surgery when she was going to deliver, i spent till all i had including my capital. i have tried so hard to pick up my business with all aggressiveness but to no avail. i am trying my best to get other businesses to support so that i can raise my business again. i want to reduce my installment for flexibility, because am seriously under pressure now. Thank You.

Hi Lenders
I had some emergency with payment of hospital bills, i was admitted on Tuesday 14 October and was discharge just 18 October. This situation has really stretched my expenditure which i did not plan for.Now i wish to reduce my weekly installment of repayment to enable me to pay smoothly just for some time, am sure i will come back to increase it when things are stable for me.

  Dear Jonathan,
  
  I am so sorry for the delay in disbursing your loan. We have been experiencing an issue with our MTN account that has taken much longer than anticipated to work out. We expect all loans to be disbursed this week.
  
  Once again, I apologize for the delay- this is very irregular for Zidisha!
  
  Best,
  Bayle, Country Liaison Manager

Hello to all lenders and zidisha team who supported me to create brochures for my printing business. Even though there were technical hitches that delayed my disbursement, the loan was still very helpful and am so grateful to you all. God richly bless you.

Hi Jonathan,
It sounds like there's been a bit of technical difficulties. I hope that the loan itself was of benefit to you - have you been able to produce more brochures?
