[7:07] – What is private money lending and what is its role?

It’s not your traditional bank where you go to get a loan. It is a group of people or an individual who can lend you money at a higher percent rate than a traditional bank.
In terms of capital, you can leverage your good credit score and your business score to open a credit line, or use money from private investors and use their capital.
