A: Our typical LTV (loan-to-value) ratio is 65% – 75% of the estimated liquid wholesale value of your asset. For example, say you purchased a diamond from a competitively priced retail store for $6,000. The wholesale value would likely be somewhere in the area of $4,500. We would then loan 75% of that value, meaning your loan amount would be approximately $3,375.

Q: Does Capetown Capital Lenders conduct credit checks?

A: No. Capetown Capital Lenders does not conduct credit checks or employment verification. The value and terms of each loan is solely based on the assets you pledge as collateral.

Q: What will the monthly payment be on my loan?

A: Your minimum monthly loan payment will consist of interest, security, storage, and insurance fees. This amount will depend on the total amount borrowed as well as the type and value of asset used as collateral, with rates as low as 2.5%. Capetown Capital Lenders prides itself on offerng a varietry of custom tailored loan terms to meet our clients specific needs. We offer the most innovative funding solutions in the luxury asset-based loan industry.

Q: Is there a minimum or maximum loan period?

A: Capetown Capital Lenders offers 30 day loans that can be extended for as many 30 day periods as the client needs. There is no minimum loan period, as our loans can be paid off in full at any time without penalty. What sets us apart from many of our competitors is the option to pay the loan down in increments as opposed to one lump sum payment. Any amount paid each month above the "monthly rate" will go towards reducing the principal balance therefore reducing your minimum monthly payment. This means our clients can take as little or as long as they need to repay the loan. You have the freedom to structure your monthly payments in any way that best fits your needs and financial situation.
