Two individuals, Alex and Ben, each independently develop a viable business plan for a new delivery service that requires a $40,000 startup loan. Both plans have identical, credible projections for revenue and profit. Alex has very little personal savings and no significant assets. Ben, however, owns a property worth $80,000. They both apply for the $40,000 loan from the same financial institution.
