A "loan shark" is an unofficial, illegal person / organisation who loans money. The advantage of using a loan shark is that there is no credit check on your past, so anyone can borrow money from them. THe disadvantages are the extortionate rates of interest and that the loan is secured on your body. If you don't pay your installments, you get a broken leg. If you miss another, your other leg is broken and it goes on and on.
