Rolland Joseph's story

Rolland is married. The couple has two children together; the youngest is still very young. For the past ten years, Rolland has been selling on delivery a variety of basic necessities. He makes deliveries in the provinces.

In order to increase his inventory, to better satisfy customers and especially to catch up with customer orders, Rolland asked for a loan so he could stock up on additional varieties of essential goods.

Rolland's goal is to turn his business into a "semi-wholesaler" one day.
