A loan helped to buy parts for one of his vehicles and also to pay for manual labor.


Jose Luis's story

José lives with his wife. He has three children, all of whom are adults. One of his children lives abroad. José's business, which he started 35 years ago, is offering taxi services. Currently he has two cars and he pays an employee. He works at unspecified days and times. José comments that when he was 20 he worked as a fare collector on a transportation unit, and then he moved up to being a driver, and finally he decided to have his own business.

He is asking for a loan in order to strengthen his business. The loan will help him to buy parts for one of his vehicles and also to pay for manual labor. He hopes that the investment will allow him to optimize the function of his taxi in order to improve the service that he offers his customers. His goal is to have an active business and a stable family income.
