Mr. Oscar Miranda is an unmarried 19 year-old man. He lives in the city of Caaguazú with his parents.



When he was young, Oscar began to work in a shop where he learned how to market products and met many potential clients. Two years ago he started to work independently, and with his savings from this previous job was able to open his own business.



Currently, Oscar operates a general store. He works as a traveling salesman throughout the different areas of the city of Caaguazú. Oscar already has a strong client base within the city.



Oscar is asking for a loan to purchase jackets, as they have been frequently requested of him for the winter season.



He hopes that the new government of our country works better than the previous one.

El Señor Oscar Miranda tiene 19 años, es soltero y vive en la Ciudad de Caaguazú con sus padres.



Desde muy joven comenzó a trabajar como empleado de una tienda en donde aprendiò sobre la comercialización de productos y conoció a muchos clientes potenciales. Hace 2 años se independizó y con el pequeño dinero que venia ahorando de su anterior empleo emprendió su propio negocio.



Oscar, actualmente se dedica a la venta de articulos de bazar y merceria y se desempeña como vendedor ambulante por las variadas zonas de la ciudad de Caaguazú, recorre con una motocicleta. Cabe mencionar que Oscar ya cuenta con su clientela bien formada por las zonas aledañas de la Ciudad.



El crédito solicitado es para la compra de camperas ya que tiene muchos pedidos de ese producto por la estación de invierno que llegó.



Espera que el nuevo gobierno de nuestro pais funcione mejor que el gobierno anterior.
