I loan because:
In my 30's I started a business initially designing, importing and selling custom area rugs. I later started my own manufacturing operation in Ensenada, Mexico. We took great pride in the rugs we made, each one was custom made to meet our clients' specifications. I would like to help other people, especially women, start a business. I know how difficult it is when you run into financial problems and don't have enough money to pursue your dreams.
