Debunking the Myth: Understanding Loan Sharks
In the world of finance, few terms evoke as much fear and apprehension as “loan sharks” with just a mention of this term conjuring up images of predatory lenders, excessively high interest rates, and individuals trapped in a vicious debt cycle. However, it’s crucial to distinguish between legitimate lenders and illegal operators.
What Are Loan Sharks?
Before delving into the nuances of loan sharks, it’s essential to understand what constitutes a loan shark. Traditionally, loan sharks refer to unlicensed lenders who operate outside the boundaries of regulatory oversight.
