    I am adjusting to fit my current flow of profit as I am using the rest of the flowing back profit in boosting the business in order to pay the remaining balance in lumpsum.

    My previous loan boosted my business highly. I was able to connect to the internet in my school business and students and the faculties were able to access learning materials online. Virtual teaching is now possible and I increased students' enrollment as a result of this loan. Thank you very much for your loan.
