Best Answer

Read all of the loan contract/ agreement. Make sure you understand what it means. Don't just ask the salesperson what it means-- take a copy home and look up the words and phrases you don't understand. Ask somebody else to review it, and go with you to business where you intend to get this loan.

Suppose you know everything there is to know about how this loan is supposed to work and what happens if you can't pay it back. Then there's just one more question to answer.

If you can't afford to live without this loan NOW, what's going to be different in the near future when you have to start making those payments on it? Where will you get this 'extra money' that you don't have now, after the loan money is spent and your regular income from your normal job is not enough?
