Maria Leticia

María  is a 23 year old businesswoman who has spent the last three years running her small cosmetics business.  Her business has enabled her to improve her family environment and generate income for her son who is in elementary school.  She wants to grow and offer more variety to her customers thus ensuring a stable income.  The experience she has gained gives her the confidence to expand in a strategic manner.  Now she is preparing to take an important step in her business.

With this loan María will buy clothing, shoes, jewelry and nail products. This will enable her to diversify her inventory and attract more customers.  She also plans to set up a salon and a store to better display her merchandise.  This investment will increase her earnings and strengthen her family business.

In the future María hopes to become a self-sufficient person with a more established business.
