There are common misconceptions, prejudices, and questions about the pawnbroking trade. For five thousand years pawnbrokers have given credit to the wealthy, the impoverished, the enterprising, and the opportunistic.  Considered by many to be the world’s second-oldest profession, the pawnbroking industry has survived where many other enterprises have died away or morphed into a shadow of their former glory. Pawnbroking remains as it has always been: enterprising, omnipresent, and misunderstood.

Clients are entrepreneurs and small business owners who may have cyclical cash flow and may also find traditional banks standoffish. Yet when times are flush, they celebrate by buying pricey cars and valuables. 

As banks zero in on more affluent customers who promise twice the revenue of their lower-income counterparts and remain stingy with credit in lower-income areas, pawnshops are stepping into the void to offer financial solutions.
