You see, many business owners I've spoken to have already had drops in revenue. It's happening across the board already, in pretty much every single sector. And if you have a drop in revenue, the natural thing to want to do is to try and get more money in. How can I make more money? And you may be looking at things like short-term lending and payday lenders to do that. The problem with those types of lending is that the interest rates are incredibly high, and you don't know when you'll be able to pay it back, because we don't know how long this will last for. We don't know how long any drop in revenue might last for.Now, it might be really short-term, because it might be that people are jittery just now, and it may be that that may pass to a small extent for your business. Every business is different, and every setup is different, but it might be for your business that it might pass relatively quickly, and people might start buying again, or it might be for your business that you have to close the doors, and there's no way that you can serve people until six months time, or even longer. We just have no idea.So, going to lending that is designed for incredibly short-term periods because they have massive, massive APRs, is really not a good idea at the moment. I mean, it's never a wonderful idea, but particularly just now, because you don't know when you'll be able to pay it back. You don't know when this will end, and when we'll get through it, and when your business will recover, and therefore, that is to be avoided at all costs.Instead, if you are desperate for revenue from... not for revenue, rather for cash, for money coming in, have a look at some of the schemes that are being announced, some of the grant schemes that we're starting to hear about, and some of the business interruption loans. You can also review your insurance to see if your insurance will cover you for any loss of revenue as well.Go down those routes rather than looking heavily into something like payday lending. It is of course an incredibly important time as well,
