What are the purposes of taking microloans in the USA and Europe?

Americans apply for short-term payday loans to earn money. Small business loans enable business owners to manage their operations more efficiently without interrupting production.

The average annual interest rate can vary from 3% to 28%. Personal loans are issued at a higher interest rate and here you will have to pay from 4% to 41%.
