With the “Tu Puedes” financing, the People’s Government seeks the economic empowerment of women by promoting real opportunities for entrepreneurs and workers, and by providing them with tools that encourage the creation and strengthening of women-led businesses.

Ivon Padilla Hernandez, head of the agency, said it is the first social credit institution, with a more inclusive approach that promotes economic autonomy and strengthens gender equality in the business world.

“Governor Libia Dennise asked us to offer accessible credit schemes for women, preferably young people and men between the ages of 18 and 70, who are considering to start a small business or expanding their existing one. This is to turn this strategy of Governor Libia Dennise into something tangible that provides certainty and serves as a legacy for the families of our State, allowing them to have their own business or company”, said Padilla.  

The Official said that the financial options offered by the People’s Government not only enhance innovation and job creation, but also foster economic development and competitiveness at the local, regional, and national levels.

Padilla explained that, to start with, all those who are about to take off in the world of entrepreneurship have access to financing called “Tu Puedes.”

The program was designed for all those living in rural areas of Guanajuato who already have a small business or are considering starting one. The maximum amount of this financing is 10,000 pesos.

The advantages of this loan are that it has an annual interest rate of 6.75 percent and a repayment term of up to one year, with biweekly payments.

Compared to popular savings banks and traditional banks, the Tu Puedes Guanajuato Financial and Support Fund has the lowest interest rate on the market.

“No one can match us, because once the financing is granted, there is a two-week grace period, meaning the loan begins to be repaid in the third two-week period, which allows the business to start and mature, and thus begin to bear fruit. That’s what we at the People’s Government strive for,” said Padilla.

Padilla Hernandez said the “Tu Puedes” financing can be used to purchase merchandise, supplies, raw materials, machinery, furniture for the business, and for operating expenses.

To process it, the interested party must go to the nearest branch with the following documentation:

• Valid official identification with photograph
• Recent proof of address with no outstanding debts
• Bank statement cover page to indicate the account into which the credit will be deposited
• 1 guarantor who must have a valid official photo ID; proof of address with current payments and their CURP
• In addition, the interested party must complete an application and a business plan, documents that can be provided at the branch or downloaded from the official website Creemosenti.com

The staff at the Financial Institution’s seven regional branches are fully trained to provide guidance and advice to those interested in financing. The offices are located in the municipalities of Leon, Celaya, Dolores Hidalgo, Irapuato, Moroleon, San Jose Iturbide, and Silao in the Puerto Interior.
