# It is forbidden to lend money on condition that the borrower does business with him specifically. There is a doubt if it is Biblical interest or only rabbinic interest.<Ref>Shulchan Aruch YD 160:23. Taz 160:22 disagrees that it is certainly forbidden for a borrower to give trumah to a kohen lender since the lender is gaining but doing business with someone isn’t considered a gain since he is paying for a service. Nekudat Hakesef 160:23 writes that if the lender didn’t have a lot of business and this agreement gets him more business it is forbidden. Chelkat Binyamin 160:248 is strict for Shulchan Aruch certainly in a case of hiring a worker.</ref> | # It is forbidden to lend money on condition that the borrower does business with him or someone else<ref>Chelkat Binyamin 160::249</ref> specifically.
