ARE LOANS BAD?

Not Exactly!

The first thing we always say when it comes to loans is, it can be a bad option when you have cheaper options but a great option when you have a strategy for it. This strategy could be for a business or personal use.

For us at BlackCOD, our values about loans revolved around your success and making sure you do not regret taking a loan. Moreover, it is also important that you have self-awareness and understanding about the idea of a loan, this will help you make informed decisions.

If you can commit to paying back a personal loan that you intend to use for the right reasons then a personal loan is not a bad option. On the other hand, if your money lender’s interest is in triple-digits and neither have a plan to pay back not intend using it for the reasonable course then a personal loan will do you more harm than good.
