Business: Beauty parlor and Shop
Loan: Rs 30,000

MUSSARIT NAZ runs two businesses from her home in Baldia Naval Colony; a beauty parlour in which she is currently the sole employee and a shop selling clothes, bags and little knick knacks. She took a RS 30,000 loan from Tameer last month to buy cosmetics and electrical goods for her salon and to purchase cloth for her shop.

Mussarit is hoping to improve business by running a publicity drive for her salon in her neighbourhood. She was very pleased with the services she received from Tameer: “Your bank is very efficient. I got my loan within a week, with other banks there is so much paperwork and it takes months before they even open your file!”

Mussarit is 30 years old and has four kids, 2 girls and 2 boys (“my family is complete”) and has always lived in Baldia.
