About Me

I am Charles Owusu it was a great experience as a child living with 2 parents my mother was a trader and my father was a fire officer. So I had the feeling of being an entrepreneur and being an employee. At early age it was my dream to start my own business since my father was always not at so I knew there was a a lot freedom being self employed. This inspired me to pick up business as a course of study at Kumasi Anglican Senior High school,After my basic education at unity prepatory school and sweet home Academy in mampong ashanti and Kasoa in the Central region respectively all in Ghana. After graduating at koforidua polytechnic with High National Diploma in Accountancy the scarcity of job motivated me to start a business business venture in order to earn a living and also help solve the unemployment situation in my country. Ghana has diverse cultures with great people and food. The people are largely hospitable they all feel great being a Ghanaian.

My Business

Okrakyi trends is a fashion firm which produces and sell Africa oriented designs and outfits to interested clients. It is a a tailor made outfits which is done to satisfy the clients' utmost specifications. Since most of our marketing is done through the social media we always assured of reaching the fair scope of our target market hence consistent turnover. Our weakly income is around gh¢800. And zidisha has played an active role in this achievement.

Loan Proposal

Fashion in Ghana has taken a new turn, this is because of innovation and great ideas players in the industry has exhibited. There are a lot of mechanisms I have put in place to make my brand stand out from the rest. And the major ones are customer care and clients satisfaction. But sometimes I disappoint some of my clients since I can't afford the fabric and other tailoring material to to meet their demands. This has created the need for financial support to make up to my. That is why I have turned to zidisha for flexible.
