Amigos Do Santa Inês Group's story
Marta, the second one from left to right, worked for many years as a restaurant manager. In 2016 she had the opportunity to buy the establishment, restructure it and implement her own style of management. The restaurant worked well for a long time, serving many meals and generating employment for cooks and servers.
With the pandemic of 2019/2020, the restaurant had to close, and Marta went three months without working. After that, she began to sell lunchboxes from home and then rented a small space near her home to continue the business, adapting herself to the restrictions in place at that time.
In spite of the challenges, Marta continued to reinvest and reinvent herself, and today she maintains a good flow of lunchbox sales and continues to strengthen her business. With the help of the loan, she will invest in the purchase of rice, beans, salads and beverages.
The group is grateful to the investors for the opportunity.
