The relevant findings evidenced the empirical management of finances by the merchants of the Riobamba wholesale market, due to the low level of financial education that affects the ability to manage and manage their economic resources. At the same time, they generate serious difficulties such as: over-indebtedness, lack of investment, poor savings and financing of commercial activity through informal sources with high financial and social costs.
