Berta Luz

Berta lives with her family, which is composed of her, her partner, and her grandson. She has two children who are adults and independent. She does not have relatives that live abroad.

Berta's business is to sell clothes, which she started 10 years ago. She learned this trade from her friend.

Berta, accompanied by her daughter, goes out to sell clothes in the community. One difficulty that she has faced is growing competition.

Berta is seeking a loan to strengthen her business. With this loan, she will be able to buy underwear, pants, shirts, clothes, etc., at wholesale prices in cash to reduce costs and therefore increase her profit margin. She hopes to attracted new clients. Her aspirations are to diversify her products that she sells and to have stable finances to cover the necessities for her family.
