Start a Loan Company

A loan company is one business you can put up easily that will give you fast and big returns on your investments. Are you wondering how this kind of company operates and how to open one? Read from our guide the basics of starting your own loan store.

You can open a loan business outright, start it with your existing business or get a franchise. You can potentially make your money grow several hundredfolds.

cash for loan

In less than a year, you can earn at least 30% return on investment. Basically, if you are granting a loan, you issue a “paycheck” that a person can encash days before he actually receives his actual paycheck. You get the returns of tying up your money for a few days by charging the borrower a fee (average of 15%) that you deduct when you issued him an advance paycheck.

Opening a Payday Loan Store

If you are opening a new store, first find statistics to know whether there are a lot of employed people who might need payday loan advances in your city. Then look at the competition. How many payday loan businesses are already operating in your area? Is there a remaining part of the market to grab? Learn as much as you can about the business by reading trade periodicals or by working in a payday loan office. A Payday Advance Training Manual is also available at www.paydaymanual.com.

Payday Loan Business Tips

  • Secure licenses and requirements for opening a storefront from your local government office
  • Secure a license as a payday lender
  • Get a lease of a store space (less than 30 sq. ft. will do). You might be required to pay advance rent and deposit
  • Put advertisements for a payday loan business through flyers and signages
  • Be aware of laws that govern payday advance businesses, like truth-in-lending laws, and adhere to them so that you don’t get into trouble with regulators. Better yet, consult an attorney.
  • You can charge an initial set up fee of less than $10 when a client first applies for a payday advance the first time
  • There are no collaterals involved in the transaction, so you must create a loan contract signed by the borrower.

If you are adding a payday loan business to your existing business, you just have to secure additional working capital and send out advertisements (business cards, flyers, banners) that you are offering pay advances. The average payday loan is between $250 and $300. If you will process 100 payday loan advance applications, you’d need up to $30,000 in one payday.

Getting a franchise for a payday loan business is another option. It could be a little costly, but it can make the process easier because of the training the franchiser can provide and other inclusive perks in the offer, like advertising.

    I love the consumer finance business and have been involved in it for 20+ years, it is fun, profitable and in most instances you can truly help people who are in need. There is nothing easy about starting a consumer discount company. Payday Lending while lucrative is coming under heavy scrutiny from regulators my advice keep the loans small with short repayment terms. You will not believe how many consumers need a $500.00 or $1,000.00 loan for 6 to 12 months that fully amortize.
