You don’t have to sell your stocks to leverage your portfolio.
Accessing financing to start, buy, or grow your small business can be time consuming, complicated, and hard to qualify for. But if you own stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or other eligible securities, you can leverage your portfolio to get the money you need without having to sell off your securities.
Portfolio loans, which are also known as stock loans or securities-based lending, work like a revolving line of credit. This lets you fund your small business or franchise by borrowing and repaying on your schedule — not a bank’s.
The Benefits of Portfolio Loans
Maintain Portfolio Value
Since you’re borrowing against the assets in your portfolio, instead of liquidating (selling) them, your investment portfolio can continue to grow in value.
Low Interest Rates
Portfolio loan interest rates can be as low as 3% – 4%. Unlike other loans, you only incur interest when you use the funds. That means you’re not penalized if you borrow more than you need.
No Upfront Costs
We can help you establish a portfolio loan for a 4% flat rate. You can pay that fee from your total loan amount, so you don’t pay anything out of pocket.
Rapid Funding
On average, portfolio loans close in an about 10 days. That means you can get the money your business or franchise needs in less than two weeks.
