ANSWER
Wa alaykum salaam warahmatullaah wabarakaatuh
May Allah reward you too, aameen
Alhamdulillaah!
It is not permissible for you to borrow money from such a person or such a company once it becomes crystal clear that its income is Haraam. This is because the money said is illegally taken by its possessor and borrowing such from him is a sort of support for what he is doing. This is if his/its wealth is completely haraam.
If however the wealth is mixed between that which is haraam and that which is not, then the preponderant verdict is its permissibility with dislike ( Makruh).

Jazaakumullaahu khayran.
