A loan helped purchase personal products.


Maria Lucila's story

Without much capital, but with a desire to get ahead, Maria saw a need to find source of income to support her household financially because her husband's income on its own is not enough to support their family. Thanks to a friend who showed her how to run a business, Maria decided to open up a store selling clothing and personal products from her home where she has a display case to exhibit them. Through this store, she has been able to earn extra income and provide her family with a better quality of life.

Maria is very attentive and carries high quality products, which has allowed her to attract a large amount of customers who guarantee high sales for her business. However, it has become a challenge to have the necessary working capital to respond to her customers' large orders. With the goal of purchasing merchandise for her business, Maria is seeking a loan to purchase personal products to fulfill her customers' orders.
