CEO of Little George Health Shop, Mr George Brown, has stated that the perception that his success came from blood money is false. However, he works with bank loans. Little Brown shared his success story on SVTV Africa.
According to Mr Brown, many people believe that he is involved in ‘sikaduro’ (blood money), but that is the “last thing I will ever do in my life.” He also explained the reason behind his name ‘Little George.’
“People say that I am involved in blood money, but it is something I will never do. I will never do that thing. I believe in doing things little by little. That is why my name is Little George.”
“I wouldn’t have applied for loans from banks. You can check from the commercial bank, and my name is still there. I’ve collected monies from ProCredit before,” he mentioned.
Speaking on CEO’s Chat with DJ Nyaami, Mr Brown revealed that he was hospitalized after taking out a loan to expand his first business; an electrical shop.
“I planned to travel to Dubai for electrical appliances. I put on my generator and the next day, my wife and I were on admission to the hospital. I lost all the money, and I could not walk for a while.”
Mr Brown added primary school in Offin Dunkwa before migrating to Tema to work with Lever Brothers. He could not attend secondary school due to financial constraints.
However, Little George enrolled in a Technical school but dropped out for the same reason. In 1984, he set up a business.
