Well if you were offering, for instance, $40,000 loans for lemonade stands, and imposing a number of employee-like restrictions on where, when, how, and for what price they could sell the lemonade, I'd start to wonder whether you weren't actually employing those people too.

Is Uber actually giving out car loans? People are getting those on their own.

It would be like if someone leased a lemonade factory from a 3rd party in order to use my app.
