I am Philomena Turkson, a 24-year-old lady who loves entrepreneurship and believes in self-employment. After completion senior high school, I moved in a little business of buying and selling cosmetics, which aided me in the payment of my school fees at the Ankaful nurses training College, where I offered for a diploma in psychiatric nursing. At school, I moved into buying and selling clothes and materials to students and lecturers on campus. Through this, I was able to support myself by paying for my academic utilities.
My clothes are very affordable and are produced with high-quality materials, and I have a long time ambition of getting enough capital to expand my business. My dream is to see poverty being reduced in the area, so that the young children who want to be doctors and lectures would achieve their aims.
I am in the business of buying and selling clothing in my locality and towns around the area. Initially, when I started the business, I used to buy from local wholesales and sell around. The clothes would sometimes cost around GHS 2,000. My clothes are being demanded because they come with quality materials and affordable prices.
As the business grew, I started importing my clothes from Togo and would sometimes give them to customers on credit. Currently, I have stayed a little idle in the business, which I wish to rekindle in no time. I would be glad to get this loan in order to help rekindle and grow this business which would be able to help me raise
enough profit in order to take care of the family.
I would like to apply for a loan to buy clothes and clothing materials to sell. I pick some of the clothes around 30 cedis and sell around 45 cedis. Some of the materials I also pick aroun 10 cedis and sell around 20 cedis. I believe this loan will help me get more clothes to satisfy the need of my customers. I promise to abide by any rules and regulations governing this institution. Thank you.
