From The Vault
Known mostly as FLC, the Friendly Lending Company is ostensibly a business operation lending out funds to those in need. In reality, the FLC is a loanshark operation, baring accusations by the Hub Police of extortion, with several thousands of hubcaps on hand; stored in the safe of the organization's main office in the Hub's Downtown area. The FLC is operated by Lorenzo "the Munificent" Giovanni, whose philosophy of being a respectable business man is summarized by his words, "You don't show us respect, you get hurt. How much more respectability can a man ask for?" The player has the ability to kill Lorenzo and his guards without angering the Hub Police, as long as you keep the fighting off the streets.
FLC gives out loans on a graduated scale of 200 hubcap units, at an interest rate of 10% of the original loan, with a maximum of 1000 hubcaps; potential customers must build a credit base at each 200 hubcap unit to be able to receive a loan on the next additional 200 hubcap unit. FLC allows up to 10 days before the loans are due.
