Florencio

Loan description:

Even though he is now 57 years old, Florencio Paglinawan feels that he is rarely tired when working at butchers he has owned and run in Tuburan market for the last 12 years. He has to rise early before dawn each day to purchase the best stock for his shop from wholesalers. One of the reasons he has loyal customers he thinks is the quality of his stock, although he emphasises that offering friendly service and remembering what his customers require is also important. He is looking for a loan of $453 from FCCT repayable over 5 months primarily to be able to buy more stock. He has been a regular borrower now for some three years. He has sought help from family and friends from time to time but feels more comfortable asking from a loan from FCCT. He thinks that the regular access to loans from FCCT has allowed him to expand his business and be able to have cash at hand to negotiate a better price with wholesalers.
