Raasia

Raasia is a 32-year-old with 2 kids and is a skilled beautician who completed professional training in beauty and personal care services. Despite having the required skills and experience, she lacked the financial resources needed to start her own business.

To transform her skills into a sustainable source of income, Raasia applied for financing under the CEIP program. After careful review of her business plan and potential, CEIP approved financial support to help her establish a small beauty salon.

The financing was utilized to purchase essential beauty equipment, salon chairs, mirrors, cosmetics, skincare products, and basic furniture. A portion of the funds was also used to set up the salon space and conduct initial marketing to attract customers.

In the early stages, Raasia faced challenges related to customer outreach and expense management. With time, consistent service quality, and business guidance provided through CEIP, she successfully built a loyal customer base.

Today, Raasia’s beauty salon generates a steady income, enabling her to support her family and repay the CEIP financing on schedule. The business has enhanced her confidence, financial independence, and professional recognition within the community.

Raasia’s journey demonstrates how access to CEIP financing, combined with skills and determination, can empower individuals to establish profitable small businesses and achieve long-term financial stability.
