Jorge Luis's story

With great determination, Jorge decided one day to become independent, and started his own retail business selling groceries and drinks in the town of Santiago de Tolú several years ago. He has been able to attract a large number of customers. This has allowed him to have very good sales levels.

Motivated to continue positioning his business, expanding it, and offering an improved capacity to tend to his customers, Jorge seeks a loan. This will provide him the possibility of buying inventory, such as cases of sodas, cases of water, and snacks. He will also buy a freezer. Jorge hopes to provide better service, continue attracting more customers, and improve his profits.
