banks are distressed currently due to the state of the economy, those that have not wound up

inflation cripples both individual banks and financial institutions. These coupled with very
poor wages and extreme pressure on the economy, everyone is searching for an alternative
source of money. Some to shore up a collapsing business, others expand an existing one or to
start a new project. The need to secure these loans has become imperative.
