Maria Julia's story
Maria lives with just her partner; her children are no longer dependent on her. She has family members living abroad.
Maria has a business selling seafood, which she started thirty years ago. She learnt the trade from her family. She works from Tuesday to Sunday from 8 in the morning until 1 in the afternoon. At the present moment in time, she has no problems with developing her business.
Maria is seeking a loan to have the funds to build up her business's stock at a lower cost. Whenever she needs to restock, she will buy fish, prawns, sardines, etc. in order to meet customer demand. Maria hopes that following the loan, her sales and income will increase.
Maria dreams of growing her business and achieving financial stability with a view to improving her family's quality of life.
