You see an ad from a microfinance institution about solutions for small businesses. You're eligible for a $500 entrepreneur's loan. It's a big loan! It would be much more than enough to register for merchant services and to pay for the smartphone.

What should you do?


You apply for the loan

You think: why wait to grow the business when the promotion is now and I'm able to sign-up today? You take the risk and apply for the loan.

You don't apply

The loan has a lot of risks and unknowns. You hope pay-scan will boost business, but will it really? You want a less risky growth strategy.
