The holiday season is just around the corner, and with it comes the excitement of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. These shopping events offer the perfect opportunity to find significant deals on everything from designer gifts to the latest tech. However, they also bring the challenge of managing a stretched holiday budget.

While many shoppers turn to high-interest credit cards or personal loans, a smarter, faster, and more discreet financial tool is often overlooked: your own luxury assets.

If you have a collection of fine watches, jewelry, or designer handbags, you have a flexible source of liquidity. Instead of letting these valuable items sit idle, you can use them to secure a short-term collateral loan, giving you the cash you need to seize the best holiday deals without impacting your credit score.

What Are Luxury Assets?

When we talk about luxury assets, we’re referring to high-value personal items that can be used as collateral. These often include:

  • Fine Jewelry: Diamond rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings from brands like Cartier, Tiffany & Co., or Van Cleef & Arpels.
  • Luxury Watches: Timepieces from prestigious brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and Richard Mille.
  • Designer Handbags: Coveted bags from brands like Hermès, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton.
  • Fine Art & Antiques: Valued paintings, sculptures, or other significant collectibles.
  • Precious Metals: Gold, platinum, or silver bullion and coins.

These items have significant intrinsic value that can be easily converted into cash through a simple, secure loan process.

A Smarter Way to Fund Your Holidays

The typical holiday financing options can have long-term drawbacks. Credit cards often come with 20-30% APR, and applying for a new personal loan can be a slow process that involves a hard inquiry on your credit report.

An asset-backed loan from Borro offers a distinct advantage:

  1. No Credit Score Impact: Because the loan is secured by your asset, there are no credit checks. The application and loan do not affect your credit history.
  2. Lower Interest Rates: Collateral loans typically offer more competitive rates than unsecured options like credit cards.
  3. Speed and Convenience: You can often get a preliminary valuation online and receive your funds in as little as 24-48 hours. This speed is critical for time-sensitive deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
  4. Privacy and Security: The process is 100% confidential. Your assets are fully insured and stored in high-security vaults for the duration of the loan.
  5. No Personal Liability: These are non-recourse loans. In the unlikely event you choose not to repay, you simply forfeit the asset, and your personal finances remain untouched.

How to Get Your Holiday Funds in Time

Using your luxury assets to get cash for the holidays is a straightforward process designed for speed.

  1. Get in Touch: Start by submitting a description of your asset online or over the phone to receive an initial loan offer.
  2. Expert Valuation: We provide a free, insured shipping label to send your asset to our expert appraisers for a final valuation.
  3. Receive Your Funds: Once you accept the final offer, the funds are wired directly to your bank account, often on the same day.

You can get your loan offer well before Black Friday, ensuring your funds are ready the moment the sales begin.
