Step-by-step explanation:
It is true that bigger and safer the company, the lower the return. But It is also true that lending loan to a bigger company will make your loan safe and there are pretty good chances that the company will return the loan on the agreed upon terms. No doubt, the return may not be big and huge, but the money you lend will be safe. So if i will have to lend money to a company, i would choose a bigger company who has sound financial statements and has a pretty good expansion plans for their future business and who has a firm reputation in the business market. Small companies or new entrants don't have history of success and one should not lend such huge amounts to companies for whom you have doubts about the business functions.
