Marlon Fredis's story

Marlon is an entrepreneurial person who is in a free union relationship and has 3 children. For several years, he has been working in retail food sales, which he established in the municipality of El Carmen de Bolivar.

Currently he asks for the support of a loan from Interactuar to buy merchandise such as groceries and staple food items and to buy shelving for remodeling, with the goal of increasing his sales and ultimately adding to his profits.

Marlon will be able to generate sustainability in his business, to be more competitive in the marketplace, and will have the possibility of improving his business.
