The majority of business capitalization isn’t a loan, but invested savings in return for equity. All of venture capital, the stock market, small business using their own funds, etc.

Mortgages are collateralized, and business loans can be secured with assets or equity. I suspect the majority of bank loans are mortgages (?). Interest rates do not need to be high without fractional banking, since loans can be secured.
