The Entrepreneur’s Liquidity Problem: Why Your Watch is Faster Than a Bank

The Entrepreneur’s Liquidity Problem: Why Your Watch is Faster Than a Bank

Richard Shults, GG (GIA)

Richard is the Chief Underwriter at Borro by Luxury Asset Capital and is a Graduate Gemologist, certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).

As an entrepreneur, you live by one rule: speed is everything. Opportunities don’t wait for committee approvals. They are fleeting, and the business owner who can act fastest wins.

It’s a classic scenario:

  • Your supplier offers a 40% discount on your best-selling inventory, but you must pay in 48 hours.
  • A high-profile sponsorship spot opens up for a key industry event, but it’s “first come, first served.”
  • A competitor is liquidating, and you have a one-time chance to buy their client list and equipment for pennies on the dollar.

You know it’s a home-run deal. But there’s one problem: your cash is tied up. It’s in your current inventory, your accounts receivable, or your long-term investments. You need capital, and you need it now.

The “Slow Money” Trap: Traditional Business Loans

Your first thought might be the bank. But as any business owner knows, a traditional small business loan or line of credit is anything but fast.

The process is a bureaucratic nightmare:

  1. The Paperwork: You’ll need to prepare two years of tax returns, current P&L statements, balance sheets, cash flow projections, and a detailed business plan.
  2. The Credit Checks: They will run hard-pull credit checks on both your business and you personally, impacting your credit score.
  3. The Underwriting: Your application will go to an underwriter, then to a loan committee, all of whom will scrutinize every part of your business.
  4. The Wait: This process can take anywhere from four to eight weeks.

By the time the bank finally gives you an answer, your “game-changing” opportunity is long gone, snapped up by someone who had cash on hand.

The “Fast Money” Solution: Your Personal Luxury Assets

Now, consider an alternative. Sitting in your safe, you have a Patek Philippe watch. In your garage, you have a classic car. In your jewelry box, you have a significant diamond.

These aren’t just passion investments; they are sources of immediate, on-demand liquidity.

A collateral loan from Borro allows you to leverage the value of these personal assets to secure working capital in as little as 24 hours.

Seize Your Next Opportunity with Confidence

With a collateral loan, you’re not asking for permission to grow your business. You are simply accessing the value you’ve already created.

  • Buy that inventory: Secure your funds and wire them to your supplier the same day.
  • Win that ad spot: Pay for the sponsorship and dominate the event.
  • Make that acquisition: Close the deal while your competitors are still filling out bank forms.

Don’t let slow money kill a fast deal. When your next opportunity arises, be ready to act.
