Why industry matters
Lenders build a view of each sector's volatility and payment patterns. A steady, low-risk industry starts with an easier case; a volatile or seasonal one faces more questions. But sector is context, not a verdict.
How to overcome sector caution
Strong, visible cash flow, clean records and clear forecasts beat sector wariness. See your sector's funding view on Credicorp for Sectors, and read the affordability guide.
