My business is growing on a daily basis, I do make profit from the business. From my daily profit I save about half or more of my earnings if expenses are made which is inevitable as we all know. The business model is profitable because I am positioned strategically in the market, this people come to withdraw money, a it is a necessity of life today.

Q3. Collateral Securities and Understanding

As mentioned earlier I used my proceeds from steemit which I saved up during college, when parents always gave me money to ope this business. Today I'm proud to say I didn't get support from any financial institution for loans or any form of it whatsoever. I'm glad I picked up myself early and can proudly share it.

Collateral Securities are basically properties assets which could be submitted in form of paper works, say, in scenarios of placing your land during cases of picking loans in financial institution. It is a worthy asset which could equate your loan or be of substantial value in cases of default in loans collected.

Collateral Securities are good mechanism to cushion the effect of losses in these financial institutions or firms. They are the saving factor which prevents the firms from going bankrupt, it stabilizes the system as a proper approach to be insured in business, as it makes the firm recover in cases of backlogs or defaulters failing to meet up with agreements.
