Marta is 27 years old and is currently working in her sister’s clothing shop in El Sauce. She lives in her sister’s house with her mother, son, nieces and nephews. While working at the clothing store she has been able to learn how the business operates; this knowledge has proved useful in running her own business. For the past five months Marta has been selling jewelry at her sisters shop; she hopes to open her own shop selling clothes, shoes, and jewelry.
Prior to working with her sister, Marta worked at Ludeca as a credit financier. Ludeca is a provider of reliability solutions and technologies to different industries. At Ludeca Marta was able to recognize the importance of making lasting relationships with her clients, as they are fundamental in the expansion of any business. Marta graduated with a degree in social work. Her degree has aided her in the cultivation of the relationships she has with her clients in her own business.
Marta grew up with her mother; her father left to Canada when she was two years old. They communicate via Skype and this has been their only form of contact. She admires her mother Angelina for raising her and her three sisters alone. She is proud of her sister because of her hard work and dedication to develop her business independently. Marta’s happiest moment in life has been to have her son.
Receiving the loan from Enlace helped Marta expand her business. She was able to buy more jewelry and has been able to collect positive returns. Marta sought a loan through Enlace because of the low interest rates offerings. Enlace’s presentations taught Marta to book keep and administer her money supply. She invests her profits in her business and also uses a percent for her personal needs. Marta is in the process of applying for another loan and hopes to continue cultivating her professional relationships with Enlace.
