The advantage of utilizing this option is lower interest rates available vs. traditional business loan options and greater flexibility around the loan agreement. It will afford us options to use the money as we need for the business vs. restrictive uses of the funds and will allow for flexible withdrawal schedules. A rough estimate of value for the company start up would range from $80,000.00 to $95,000.00. Since the loan is based off the value of the equity in the asset, there is not much the lending institution requires on what you are going to use the money.

For this business scenario the best business entity is a limited partnership or special partnership. There are two types of partners in a limited partnership: general partners and limited partners.

The greatest impact of this source of finance is bankruptcy because, if the loan is not paid, the bank will take legal action against you and the collateral assets, for example, a building will be assessed and the organization may be liquidated.

A suitable contract should be drawn up to prevent any misunderstandings of how the money is to be used or repaid. If the property is a buy-to-let, tenant income can be used to repay the loan you have made. If the same friends or family are happy to keep the money invested in the property, then again you can use…
