LoanMyAssets is an educational resource that explains asset‑backed lending in clear language. If you are considering pledging gold, vehicles, real estate, invoices, or other valuables as collateral, this site helps you understand the true cost of credit, the risks, and how to compare offers safely.
In an asset‑backed loan, the lender advances money against the value of collateral. The maximum amount is often determined by a loan‑to‑value (LTV) percentage. For example, if collateral is worth €10,000 and the lender offers a 60% LTV, the gross loan amount would be €6,000. From this, lenders may deduct fees such as appraisal, storage, insurance, and origination. Understanding the effective APR including all fees—not only the nominal rate—is essential for informed decisions.

Borrowing against assets can be helpful in the short term, but it carries consequences if markets move or if repayment is delayed. Always compare at least three written offers, calculate your break‑even point, and keep a written repayment plan. If in doubt, seek independent advice.
