Tatiana's business is selling roasted cashew nuts, a business that she started 3 years ago, and she does it with the goal of earning economic income to meet her personal costs and those of her child. She will buy the completed product and re-sell it. She works from Monday through Saturday, with a work schedule of 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. She distributes her product to potential clients, and she also has a sales location on a principal street.

Tatiana is making an application for a loan in order to capitalize her business. With the borrowed funds, she'll be able to buy roasted cashew nuts wholesale for her daily sales, and thus will reduce her costs and meet the demands of her clients, and thus will be able to increase her sales and earnings.

She has a new project, including sales of bee's honey, given that this is a product with great demand in the market, and that will earn her more income.

Her aspiration is to have economic stability in order to get her family ahead.
