ABOUT ME

Have you ever wondered why only 5% of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK are led by ethnic minorities, despite the immense talent, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit within these communities?

My name is Faiza Ahmed.

As a Black female entrepreneur from Ghana, I have navigated the challenges of building a successful international business, expanding across platforms like Amazon, Etsy, and eBay while balancing motherhood and a commitment to empowering others. My journey is a testament to the power of resilience, strategy, and digital transformation—the same principles I now use to help other businesses establish a strong online presence and expand globally.

My passion for business started way back in 2006 where I studied Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Cape Coast in Ghana. As a Chartered Accountant (ICAG) since 2019, currently pursuing ACCA and an MBA with the London School of Business and Finance, I bring a strong financial and strategic foundation to the digital business world.

With 10 years of experience in the public sector of Ghana as an internal and external auditor, I have honed my expertise in financial management, compliance, and strategic planning.

My entrepreneurial journey led me to become the Managing Director of Afri-Natural Foods and Chocolate UK Ltd, where I successfully built a thriving international brand with a strong presence on Amazon, Etsy, and eBay.

My products have reached countries in USA, Canada, Australia, UAE, Sweden, Japan, Italy, among others all at the comfort of my home. This gives me the flexibility to always work around my children.

I have qualified for eBay top-rated seller status by consistently meeting UK and Ireland seller performance standards and also earned a star seller badge for six months in a row on etsy. We have recently expanded to the USA through Amazon FBA. Everyday, I create an exceptional experience for my customers.

Beyond business, I am passionate about mentorship and empowerment. As an Enterprise Adviser in London, I guide young people in schools and colleges, helping them navigate their career paths.

My commitment to uplifting women and fostering economic independence is at the core of my consultancy, ensuring that businesses, especially those led by women, have the right tools to thrive in the global marketplace.

To further enhance my expertise in digital transformation and e-commerce, I have undertaken various professional courses, including:
✅How to Grow: Management Essentials Course – Delivered by the Small Business Charter and funded by the HM Government.

✅ Practical Accounting Software Training – Certified by the Association of Certified Digital Accounting Professionals with hands-on experience in Sage, QuickBooks, and Xero, trained by KBM Chartered Accountants and Registered Auditors.

✅ Digital Media, Marketing, and Technology Training – A year-long practical support program under the Digital London E-Business Support Programme, funded by the UK Government and supported by the Mayor of London.

With a deep understanding of social media marketing, content creation, graphic design, e-commerce strategy, and digital financial record-keeping, I founded Faiza Ahmed Consulting and Business Advisory Services to help businesses scale beyond borders by building strong online presence.

My mission is simple: to transform local businesses into global brands through innovative digital strategies.
