Adding to basket
Julieta is 50 years old. She is a charismatic, helpful person. She is married, but is separated from her husband. She has no children who depend on her, and she lives alone in a home located in the area of El Quinche, a place of interest for religious tourism in the Ecuadorian capital.
Julieta owns a variety and paper goods store she operates in her home. She feels she could further improve her business, so she plans to add items for social events such as birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions. She has been in business for 5 years and is very well known in her area for her warm, friendly service.
Julieta is seeking a loan to acquire merchandise such as wood and cardboard boxes, birthday candles, regular and metallic balloons, manual balloon pumps, piñatas, foam balls, and floral foam, as well as other frequently requested items.
Julieta aspires to make her business into a wholesale store serving local small entrepreneurs. The income she obtains will be used to expand her house, since she wants to bring her parents to live with her.
