Script:
M: We′re going to need a substantial loan in order to finance the expansion of our building. Who do you think is most likely to approve us?
W: Stanton Trade Bank often provides loans to small-scale businesses like us. But I′m not sure if they′d be willing to offer the amount we′re looking for.
M: What about Claridge Financial? It definitely has the resources to help us.
W: Yes, but it charges much higher interest rates than most banks do, so I don′t think it should be our first choice. We might consider it as a last resort, though.
