Loan description:

Alphonse Sossakponou is 30 years old and married with a two-month-old baby who has made him very happy. He sells electrical appliances, such as DVD players, video disc and video cassette players, as well as video and audio discs. He buys his stock in Lomé and runs his business from his small shop, 'Marlin Brothers Ltd', which is situated in Atakpamé’s Assivime quarter. He started his business when the market for digital products began to develop in Atakpamé, and things are going well. His target market comprises students, civil servants and gadget lovers. He will use over half of his first loan of 400,000 West African francs to buy DVDs, CDs and discs and the remainder to buy disc players. He will repay the loan over 12 months. Alphonse’s ambition for the near future is to become a prosperous wholesaler, to ensure that all his young family’s needs are met.
