Marie, 35, is married to a bus driver. The couple have three children, with one still in their care.
Marie's main business is selling second-hand clothing, which she has been doing for 10 years. She has a fixed point-of-sale location. Sales are going up because her products are branded clothing. Marie already has experience in choosing her products.
Having large amounts of funds is a key factor in the success of her business in order to build up quality stock. This is why Marie is requesting this loan to buy more bundles of clothes.
The couple's goal is to acquire a vehicle (a taxi) to diversify their sources of income.
