A loan helped to buy sweets, beverages, vegetables, meat, etc., to enlarge and diversify the inventory of her store.


Marleny's story

Marleny has chosen to take another loan to strengthen the inventory of her new business, which consists of running a store. In this opportunity, she will invest in the purchase of sweets, beverages, vegetables, meat, etc. to enlarge and diversify the inventory of her store.

Thanks to the previous loan, she was able to strengthen her own business, and with it, she met the needs of her clients, thereby generating better sales and profits.

Currently, she had to stop running her business, and she's working running a daily-use products shop, a business that was transferred to her from her mother when the latter developed health problems.

She works in the shop from Monday through Sunday, with a schedule of 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.
