Common Questions

Art Loan FAQ

What is a non-recourse art loan?

A non-recourse loan means the artwork is the only collateral. If the loan is not repaid, the lender's only remedy is the artwork itself — your other assets, bank accounts, real estate, and income are never at risk. This is the standard structure for art-backed lending and a key reason collectors prefer it over traditional financing.

How much can I borrow against my artwork?

Loan-to-value ratios typically range from 40–60% of the appraised fair market value, depending on the artist, medium, provenance, and current market liquidity. Our minimum loan is $25,000. We evaluate each piece individually.

Do you run a credit check?

No. We evaluate the asset, not the borrower. Your credit history, income, or financial statements are irrelevant to our lending decision.

How long does the process take?

From initial inquiry to funded loan typically takes 24–72 hours, depending on whether an independent appraisal is required. We can often move faster for well-documented works by established artists.

What happens to my artwork during the loan?

Your work is transported via insured white-glove art handling and stored in a climate-controlled, museum-grade facility. It is insured at full replacement value throughout the loan term.

Can I get my artwork back before the loan matures?

Yes. There are no prepayment penalties. You may repay the principal at any time and your work will be returned within five business days of settlement.
