A loan helped to buy merchandise such as body and face creams, perfumes, and accessories.


Silvia Helena's story

Silvia is 53 years old, married, and has three children, who have been her driving force to move forward and support her family. She currently makes a living selling personal care products and accessories several years ago in the municipality of Fredonia.

She is an entrepreneur and a hard worker, eager to succeed and continue her business.

Silvia is applying for this loan from the Interactuar Corporation to invest in the purchase of merchandise such as body and face creams, perfumes, and accessories. This is to increase her sales by offering a greater variety that meets the diverse tastes and needs of her customers.
She also wants to take advantage of the upcoming mother's day season to increase her income.
