Leoncia Rojas Garay is 37 years old and is single and lives in Encarnación. She rents a house with her mother and a cousin in the lower zone of Encarnación. She opened her own business from home selling women’s clothing such as underwear, socks, sportswear etc. her good location and the fact that she has been doing this for 10 years means she has many clients. Her main clients are tourists from the border city Posadas (Argentina) as the products are cheap for them. She would like to enlarge her business and for this she would like a loan to buy larger quantities of underwear and socks as you get a better price and more discounts for buying them in bulk which means she could compete more in the market and at the same time increase her sales and therefore her earnings.

Leoncia Rojas Garay tiene 37 años es soltera y es de Encarnación, ella vive en una casa alquilada junto con su madre y una prima y que está ubicada en la zona baja de la ciudad de Encarnación.
Ella abrió su propio negocio en su casa donde se dedica a la venta de ropa para damas como remeras, ropa interior, medias, ropa deportiva, etc., su buena ubicación y una antigüedad de más de 10 años en el ramo hacen que ya cuente con una buena clientela formada.
Sus principales clientes son turistas de la ciudad fronteriza de Posadas (Argentina), para quienes los productos ofertados son de precios muy atractivos.
Ella desea ampliar el negocio por lo que pide un préstamo que lo destinará a la compra en cantidades mayores y al contado de ropas interiores, medias y remeras pues comprando de esa manera ofrecen mejores precios y descuentos, lo que hace que se pueda competir mejor en el mercado; esto a su vez aumentará sus ventas y podrá aumentar sus ingresos.
