Is this a business a yid can be proud of to be in? Yes I understand you can get a heter and it isn’t “a loan”. It’s also taking advantage of people. It only preserves the stereotype of the jew in the business of usury to the eyes of the goyim.

Are these loans predatory? if you are serving small sums to very unreliable clientele, and there is sufficient competition, you will probably be lucky to make even. But consider that you might need to start dealing with shady people in order to enforce proper payments. Not sure why one needs to go into such business in our times v. the times when non-Jews restricted our activities to such industries. Father is supposed to teach a son a business that is clean and not very hard.
