PRIOR TO PAN-AFRICAN
Jakmay Enterprise started as a Cold Store in 2007 as well as selling soft drinks and bags of rice. The business was operated on a small scale as the container being used was small with limited clientele. The shop had just a few shelves on which the drinks and bags of rice were displayed. “We could only afford to go for just a small quantity of our supplies because our capital was not enough by then” he said.
GROWTH WITH PAN-AFRICAN
“The initial support I received from Pan-African was a loan facility which was used towards ordering additional stock. I eventually gave up the Cold Store business to enable me concentrate on the sale of provisions.”
“The various loan facilities I was granted from Pan-African enabled me expand the shop, increase stock and sales. I therefore had to hire 3 staff to support my wife and I with the increased workload. I am now able to offer products on wholesale basis as well. “
