Loan Option Evaluation for a Small Business
A small business owner needs a significant loan to expand their operations. They have two offers from a bank: one with a lower interest rate that requires them to pledge their business property as security, and another with a higher interest rate that does not require any assets to be pledged. From the perspective of the lender, evaluate which loan option presents less risk and justify your reasoning. Then, from the perspective of the borrower, evaluate the primary trade-off they face when choosing between these two options.
