Avanza Sólido 21
Paola runs a grocery store in Granjas, southern Mexico, together with her husband. With a loan from Avanza Sólido, she expanded her inventory and grew her business into a supplier for other small shops in the area.
The project
Paola sells groceries in Granjas, Tuxtla Gutiérrez. She runs the store with her husband and is constantly looking for new opportunities to grow further. In addition to serving their own customers, they also supply goods to other small shops in the neighborhood.
A loan from Avanza Sólido enabled the couple to purchase a larger volume of goods and expand their store's inventory. With more products on the shelves, they can process more orders and serve more customers, thereby increasing the family's income.
In addition to the loan, Paola participated in training sessions provided by Avanza Sólido. There, she learned how to organize herself better, listen to customer needs, and provide better service. "I learned that serving customers well is also a key part of growing the business," she says. Growth depends not only on having more stock but also on trust and strong relationships with customers and the shops she supplies.

Impact
Mexico is a country marked by significant economic inequality, with wide disparities in income, access to services, and economic opportunity. These gaps are especially visible in rural areas, where communities often face greater barriers to development and financial inclusion.
Avanza Sólido addresses these issues by providing microloans and training to small entrepreneurs who are excluded from traditional banking services. By offering financial education and business management training, they help entrepreneurs stabilize their incomes and reduce poverty. Focusing on vulnerable groups, including women, youth, and indigenous communities, Avanza Sólido directly contributes to improving living standards and strengthening the economic resilience of these populations in Mexico.
