Investment & Fund Management

Enara Sanchez, a passionate dog groomer from Spain, faced significant challenges in financing her new business, Rekete Guaupos. With limited experience in financial management and a desire to provide specialized grooming services, she sought affordable financing options to launch her venture. Recognizing her expertise in grooming competition dogs and her ambition to cater to a growing clientele, Enara turned to Laboral Kutxa, an intermediary under the European Progress Microfinance Facility (EPMF) program, which supports micro-entrepreneurs.

The tailored solution provided by Laboral Kutxa enabled Enara to secure the necessary funding to establish her business. With this support, Rekete Guaupos now offers a range of services, including customized grooming cuts and preparation for dog competitions, which distinguishes her from competitors. Enara has also effectively utilized social media to promote her business, leading to a steadily increasing customer base. As a result of the financing and her hard work, she is now in a position to hire additional staff to meet the demands of her expanding clientele. This case exemplifies how targeted financial support can empower young entrepreneurs to turn their passions into successful businesses.
