Pedro is 53 years old. He is married and lives in a small humble home with the necessary comforts. For more than 20 years he has been in the business of selling medications. He feels that he still has a long way to go as an entrepreneur and remembers what is has taken for him to become a good businessman. Each day he boards busses to sell his products. He needs to be very knowledgeable about what he sells, so he reads encyclopedias, dictionaries, magazines, and other literature. In future he would like to establish his own store so that he can offer better service. He will use the money from this loan to buy products in bulk, so that he can offer a greater variety.
