Nancy Yanet and her family live in the city of Portoviejo. It suffered an earthquake on April 16, 2016. It is a city rich in the production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruits for internal consumption.
Nancy is grateful for loans. Because of them her sales are growing. She sells products from catalogs, including Belcorp, Ibel, Cyzone and Esika. She sells beauty products, cosmetics, perfumes, and women's accessories. She also has a sewing studio where her clients come for her to make them a large variety of clothing items, which is when she sells her products.
Nancy extends credit for her merchandise sales, and collects payment every eight days. This loan is to buy fabrics, buttons, makeup, creams, perfumes, nail polish, etc. She will also pay for electricity.
