Diana is 30 years old, in a common-law relationship, and has three children (ages 11, 10, and 2), two of whom are in school. Her husband is a refrigeration technician and has his own repair shop. Diana sells clothes and shoes of various brands through catalogs. Her sales are conducted by going door-to-door to the homes of relatives, friends, and referrals. She sells three times a week and also from her home. In addition, Diana has merchandise that she buys at a discount and then resells, such as a wide variety of bed sheets in various sizes and designs.
With this new loan she will buy bed sheets, as well as shoes and clothes that have been ordered by her customers. Her dream is to have a retail shop where she can continue her sales.
