A loan helped invest in vehicle maintenance: brake fluid, shock absorbers, reinforcing pegs, paint for his vehicle.


Jose Ivan's story

José is an enterprising and dynamic person aged 55. Several years ago he started a highway transportation business with the aim of generating an income to support his household in the municipality of Medellin. He lives with his partner and two children whom he supports financially.

Today he needs a loan to strengthen his business. He will invest the money in vehicle maintenance: brake fluid, shock absorbers, reinforcing pegs, paint for his vehicle. He will be able to continue his job in a better way and guarantee his own and other users' safety.

José's greatest wish is to see his business continue to grow and generate sufficient earnings so that he can buy another covered vehicle a little newer and use it to get equal work thus increasing income.
