The coronavirus pandemic took everyone by surprise in the world, and the governments of several countries imposed strict lockdown measures. Due to this, businesses were forced to shut operations and what followed was a series of furloughs, leave without pay, pay cuts, and whatnot.
In a nutshell, a sizeable population in the UK and even globally, especially in developing countries became unemployed. Survival became very difficult for those living hand to mouth up until now and had no savings.
Fortunately, there are direct lenders in the UK offering to make their ends meet. These loans typically do not have any application processing fee, prepayment, or foreclosure charges on them. Another good part is you can sit with the lender to negotiate the interest rate and repayment terms on these loans.
There are many employment opportunities in the UK due to it being a developed country with a stable economy. One can easily start working and make decent money for his survival and loan repayment. Some of these opportunities are listed below:
