What are loans against assets?

Loans against assets (also known as asset-backed loans or collateral loans) are a type of secured financing where you use a valuable, movable asset you own outright as collateral for a loan. Unlike pawning, which implies a short-term, high-interest transaction, a professional loan against assets service offers a more refined and transparent lending experience with clearer terms and competitive rates.

The key distinction is that you retain ownership of your asset throughout the loan term. Your asset simply serves as security, safely stored by the lender, until the loan is repaid. Once you repay the loan, your asset is returned to you.

How does it work?

Our process is designed to be seamless, confidential, and quick, ensuring you get the funds you need when you need them.

    1. Enquiry & Asset Details: You begin by providing details about the asset you wish to use as collateral. This could include:

      • Fine Art: Paintings, sculptures, unique installations from established artists.
      • Luxury Watches & Jewellery: High-end brands (e.g., Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier), diamonds, precious gemstones, and bespoke pieces.
      • Rare Collectibles: Vintage cars, classic motorcycles, rare coins, stamps, antiques, fine wines, or other highly sought-after memorabilia with verified provenance.
      • Other Valuables: Depending on the lender, this could also include high-end vehicles or other significant movable assets.
    2. Professional Valuation: Our expert appraisers, or trusted third-party specialists, will conduct a thorough, independent valuation of your asset. This assessment determines its current market value, which directly influences the loan amount you can qualify for. We ensure this process is accurate and respectful of your asset’s true worth.

    3. Loan Offer & Agreement: Based on the valuation, we present you with a clear, competitive loan offer. This agreement will detail:

      • The loan amount.
      • The interest rate.
      • The repayment terms and schedule.
      • Any associated fees (which are always transparently disclosed). We ensure you fully understand all terms before proceeding.
    4. Secure Storage: Upon acceptance of the offer, your valuable asset will be securely transported (if necessary) and stored in our state-of-the-art, insured facilities. Your asset remains protected and preserved for the duration of the loan.

    5. Funds Disbursed: Once the agreement is signed and your asset is secured, the loan amount is quickly transferred to your nominated bank account, often within hours.

    6. Repayment & Retrieval: You make regular repayments according to the agreed schedule. Once the loan, including all interest and fees, is fully repaid, your asset is promptly and safely returned to you.

Why choose a loan against assets?

  • Speed & Efficiency: Access capital much faster than traditional bank loans, often within 24-48 hours.
  • No Credit Checks: Your credit history is typically not a primary factor, as the loan is secured by your asset. This makes it ideal for individuals or businesses with less-than-perfect credit.
  • Confidentiality & Discretion: The process is private, discreet, and does not require extensive financial disclosures or affect your public credit record.
  • You Retain Ownership: Unlike selling, you never relinquish ownership of your cherished items. You simply leverage their value temporarily.
  • Flexible Loan Amounts: Loan amounts are directly tied to the value of your asset, allowing for substantial funding for high-value items.
  • Competitive Rates: Secured by tangible assets, these loans often carry more favourable interest rates compared to unsecured personal or business loans.
  • Minimal Paperwork: Significantly less bureaucratic than traditional lending applications.
  • Asset Safety: Your valuable item is stored in highly secure, climate-controlled, and insured facilities, giving you peace of mind.

Is a loan against assets right for you?

If you require immediate access to capital, value your privacy, and own high-value assets you wish to retain long-term, a loan against assets offers a sophisticated and effective financial solution. It’s an intelligent way to unlock the dormant capital in your valuables without having to part with them permanently.

Documents required
  • Your ID
  • Proof of residence
  • Proof of employment/income
  • Proof of ownership.
  • Where vehicles are provided as security, the registration documents are required, and transfer of ownership papers signed by you (transfer would take place only in the event of a default).
  • Insurance Policies used as security need to be ceded to the lender.
