I don't think that loans is too risky, but i think this would be depends in loaner and the one that would filled the loan. First they should estimate or check the loaner if its safe to filled their loan, then in that way your money is always safe and for as safe also they should not load without valid collateral
i think loans is too risky especially if we don't have any income for weekly or monthly because how we can payback that loans if we don't have money? if our loan is to make new business, then we should thinking about how we are gonna pay the loans, beside that we should thinking how long we want to borrow.
