Flor De Maria's story
Flor lives with her husband. She is 45 years old and has two dependent children, a daughter and a son aged 15 and 11 respectively. She does not have relatives who live abroad. Flor works selling new and second-hand clothing. She started the business over three years ago and learnt the trade with the help of a friend. She works every day but does not have set hours.
Flor is applying for a loan to obtain the financial resources she needs to strengthen her business. The funds lent will enable her to buy a wide range of clothing to stock her business's inventory. She hopes the investment will allow her to keep her business alive and at the same time generate more profit so she can offer her family a better lifestyle.
Flor's objective is to make good use of the loan to grow her business.
