My Business

I use my time to pursue my love in picture taking and videos. I have some contracts to cover small weddings and parties in my area. But i lack new equipment and accessories in the ever growing photography world . I currently have in my employ 1 person who carries my home made lighting pole for night events and indoor events. I would love to employ more people and buy more equipment .
I get my revenue or income from the little retail business i have and also from contracts of weddings and party coverage.
And some revenue also come form my occasional supervision work as a foreman or supervisor in building and construction works.

Loan Proposal

Zidisha all the way!!!! , I was very pleased when i was introduced to zidisha organization .
I am looking for a loan to purchase my own laptop for editing of videos and pictures as clients always ask for visual effects in their pictures and videos which my camera is not capable , so i always use a friends laptop.
And use the remainder to buy parts for my DIY(Do it yourself) home lighting rod for light when filming in room or at night .
1)Buying a capable laptop for video and picture editing: 400 dollars
2)Bulbs,wires and casing for my homemade lighting rod: 20 dollars

On a normal weekend of shooting at a program i earn around 250 cedis after expenses so with this new camera and my homemade lighting rod , i am looking to increase my profit by another 20% as now i will also accept night shooting and closed areas and not worry about lighting .

    Hello Zidisha,
    I am Felix Appiah Nyarko. And due to certain factors like increment in fees, credit risk fees, etc, I can not continue to take loans from Zidisha as it is rather harming my business than done well recently.
    In light of this, I would kindly like to be refunded everything I am entitled to as a member who has been outstanding at paying back loans and on time and for my referrals to zidisha wishes to stop.

    I look forward to receiving what is due to me that is the MLF refund, Credit risk refund, Membership fees and loan fees so I can move on to my business. It was fun and very good whiles there were not this many fees and increments.
    thank you Zidisha and thank you, lenders.

    Hello Lenders and Zidisha,
    I frankly very well appreciate the gesture and goodwill of all our lenders. Initially, I was so ecstatic about my loan and it quite simply helped me. Currently, I have been able to start up a few other companies which very well helps a lot of people and it was all thanks to Zidisha and lenders. But currently, we pay in excess of about 1/4 of loans received here which to me is defeating the purpose of helping people like myself who would have otherwise had little to no support in starting a business. It gradually takes away the helping from "helping people".
    the loans here are now more than some banks used to give in my country so I regretfully have to stop taking loans after I repay this one.
    I appreciate all lenders very much and zidisha , but like all good things, it was an awesome ride for me and i appreciate it very ...for lenders you can see all the great things your loans have done www.trisolacefarms.com and www.trisolace.com.
    I have been even awarded a couple of time for my entrepreneurship works for the youth.

    I received my disbursement ok . 1134 cedis and I am very appreciative to lenders and Zidisha for the opportunity.
    But loans are getting pretty steep and might ruin the purpose of helping people if it continues to go up more . Anyways I am glad for the opportunity.

    My company was fortunate to have been awarded by the British Council of Ghana for entrepreneurship and innovation.
    We have our laptop bought but not fully repaid.
    We are currently looking for investors to go into our other entrepreneurship businesses.

    I checked out your web site. It looks good, Loads quickly, nothing overlapping accidentally. If you want specifically English speaking clients, take the s off the word works. If you have specific security protections in place, say that on your site. It is crucial in the west and will become more important in your area as your clients become more sophisticated technology users.
