15 years ago Luiz decided to set up his own business in styling and beauty services.

With his first credit at Compartamos Banco he purchased products and more equipment and increased his income by 70%. He then hired more employees and opened another branch.

“My business has grown since I began to receive credit at Compartamos. First I opened one beauty salon and then another.” Luiz says proudly.

Nowadays, he owns two beauty salons and gives employment to 6 persons.  He plans to open a spa very soon.
