Ruth's business is selling cosmetics from a catalog line, and she is the leader in her area. Her merchandise is distributed in local offices. She has also been working with other entrepreneurial banks, and she has never had a problem making her scheduled payments. Ruth has a stable home life, living independently in an apartment with her children and her husband, who also helps with the household expenses. The loan she is requesting will be used to purchase cosmetics which are currently available at a reduced price.
