Guadalupe's Story

Guadalupe is a grocer at her store. She needs a loan to buy more products and offer a variety of products to her customers. Having a variety of products available will give her business a competitive advantage. At this point, she does not offer a wide variety of products to her customers, and they go somewhere else to get them.

Guadalupe hopes to grow her business so her daughter can go to college. Right now, she can only use the income to buy more products to sell at her store.

Guadalupe is married; she has a nine-year-old daughter. She lives in Michoacan, Mexico.
