    Solution

    The age of the business owner is not a primary factor in granting loans or extending credit . The most important factors are the purpose of the loan, the security provided, diversification of risks, and the liquidity of the loan, which ensure the loan is both safe and viable .   While the age of the business owner is not relevant, the experience and professional background of the business owner is considered as part of the risk assessment while giving loan.
