Otila Farani

In 2005, Otila joined SPBD to access their financial services with the goal of improving her living situation and ability to engage in business activities. Otila has successfully repaid a previous SPBD loan in the amount of $2250 WST. She used that loan to expand her business. Otila is now requesting a new loan of $3000 WST, which she will use to purchase additional inventory and to have working capital on hand. This loan will be Otila's fifth from SPBD. She plans to use the additional revenue generated to improve/expand her business.
