I recently stumbled across this opinion post on Forbes and decided to make a video on it. Coming from PayPal’s Vice President of Global Merchant Lending, Bernardo Martinez, I could easily justify why he would be a creditable source on said topic. As he suggests, the pandemic forced many of us, small business owners, to rely on a loan or grant to help us stay afloat. But by doing so, it also introduced many of us to the concept of using other people’s money to grow our businesses. So I agree that small businesses will take out more loans in 2022. Do you? Watch the video before responding!
