    Unfortunately John did not communicate at all on his last loan despite being months late with all the repayments and being asked many times what the challenges were. Disappointing after his previous track record.

    405USD loan paid back on schedule and in full. Looks like you are doing really solid job of managing the expansion of your business John. Happy to support another loan if that in your plans.
