Jackson completed school at Fortland University in 1996. He worked at Pesex Company (Ghana) for 10 years and resigned to start a business called Casak Ltd, a manufacturer of alcoholic beverages. Jackson started the company with $ 100,000 capital and assigned himself 200,000 shares. After 3 years of running the company, Lisa & Co. Capital, a venture capitalist in Ghana decides to invest $ 2 million for 500,000 shares in the business so it can undertake an expansion. 10 years later, Casak Ltd wanted to open 10 additional factories in Ghana so they can increase production to serve the whole of West Africa. Casak Ltd decided to undergo an IPO by selling 1 million new shares and 200,000 shares held by existing shareholders. Analysts priced the IPO at $ 30 but after a few hours of trading, the stock price shot up to $50. The firm incurred underwriting, filing, and other professional costs of $700,000, $600,000, and $500,000 respectively during the IPO. After 5 years of initiating the IPO when the firm hadn't repurchased shares, Jackson wanted the alcoholic beverages to be sold worldwide and decided to raise additional equity capital.
