Alicia Del Carmen, a strong and determined woman, has dedicated her life to raising her three children and has been growing her business of selling food in the city of San Marcos. At 49 years old and with a life full of challenges, Alicia has demonstrated herself to be a true warrior.
From a young age, Alicia Del Carmen has worked arduously to get ahead with her children. Now that they are grown, she is focusing on business success. During the past few years she has sold foods and basic goods to the inhabitants of San Marcos, and has earned a reputation for her honesty and dedication.
Nevertheless, Alicia Del Carmen knows that to continue forward and maintain a competitive business, she needs to invest in new opportunities. It is for this reason that she decided to request a loan to purchase more variety that will allow her to expand what she offers and better satisfy the needs of her customers.
With the loan, Alicia Del Carmen plans to purchase snacks, boxes of soft drinks, and other products that will allow her to offer greater variety to her customers. She also plans to invest in supplies to grow yuca, which is a product that is highly in demand in the region.
