Wilmer Manuel's story

Wilmer is 29 years old and has a retail food business. This business is located in a space in his home in the Santiago de Tolú municipality, a municipality that is growing and his client base is increasing.

Wilmer has many products that he wants to complete, but it is necessary for him to have auxiliary financing that will inject working capital in his business. He wants to purchase inventory for his store (packages of rice, liters of oil, vegetables, baskets of eggs), packs of water, construction materials, paint, replacement windows, a large table and wooden shelves. With this, he seeks to improve the fixtures at his business and increase the products he can offer.
