Marilyn

Marilyn is 30 years old, single, and still lives in her mother's house. With great joy and organization she serves each one of the customers who come to her public Internet booths, which she has been running for 3 years. The first years of her business were very profitable, as she did not have any competitors, but now she is feeling the presence of the competition. For this reason she sees the need to increase the number of computers that she has and to increase her connection speed. Even so Martilyn is happy with the profitability of her business, and on the other hand, she counts on the support of her mother, who has provided the building, for which she does not need to pay rent. Consequently, she contributes financially to the daily needs of the house and to her younger brothers by purchasing their school supplies. Likewise, when she has to go out, her brothers take care of her business. This is her first loan with MFP. She is joining a solidarity group, therefore she agrees to pay each one of the payments established by her credit adviser. The money she is requesting is to upgrade the speed of her computers for her best Internet connection.

Marilyn tiene 30 años de edad, es soltera y aun vive en la casa de su madre. Con mucha alegría y organización atiende a cada uno de sus clientes que acuden a sus cabinas públicas de Internet, las que hace 3 años viene administrando. Los primeros años de su negocio le resultó muy rentable, porque no contaba con competidores, pero ahora está sintiendo la presencia de la competencia, por lo que ve la necesidad de incrementar el número de computadoras que tiene y aumentar la velocidad de su conexión. Aun así Martilyn está contenta por la rentabilidad de su negocio, y por otra parte, cuanta con el apoyo de su madre que le ha facilitado el local, por lo que no tiene la necesidad de pagar alquiler. En consecuencia, aporta económicamente para las necesidades diarias de su casa y apoya a sus hermanos menores con la compra de sus útiles escolares, asimismo cuando ella tiene que salir, sus hermanos atienden su negocio. Este es su primer crédito con MFP, se está integrando a un grupo de solidaridad, por ello, hace compromisos de pagar cada una de las cuotas fijadas por su asesor de crédito. El dinero que solicita es para re potenciar la velocidad de sus computadoras para su mejor conexión a la Internet.
