The people using paydays loans usually aren't entrepreneurs, so your example -- while an interesting case -- doesn't apply to the spirit of the regulation.

When I had my first real job out of college, I didn't manage my money well and ran out of cash well before my next payday. I went to a check-cashing type of place to try and get a payday loan, but the state had outlawed them a couple of years prior. Had I been granted a payday loan, there's a good chance I'd still be in a cycle of debt stemming from that.
