Private lenders
Are you looking for alternative financing solutions for your personal or business projects, or to consolidate your debts? Private lenders can sometimes seem like an interesting option. At Mallette Redressement financier, we understand the financial difficulties our clients face and we're here to help them find solutions tailored to their needs. Our extensive experience enables us to provide clear and precise information on this source of financing.
Understanding what a private lender is
The main difference between a private lender and a traditional lender is that private lenders do not have the same strict credit criteria. They are often more flexible in their requirements and can offer loans where banks would refuse, but at higher interest rates.
It's essential to do your research and make sure that the lender you choose is trustworthy.
Private lenders can offer a variety of loans, including personal loans, debt consolidation loans and mortgages. They can be a second chance at credit for those with a difficult financial history. If you've been turned down by banks because of bad credit, a private lender may be able to help.
When considering a loan from a private lender, it's important to understand the terms and conditions of the loan, including the interest rate. In Canada and Quebec, it is illegal to charge fees and interest in excess of 60% per annum. So it's important to do business with a private lender who complies with the laws in force.
A meeting with an advisor from Mallette Redressement financier can help you evaluate your options and find the best solution to your financial problems. We are here to support you throughout the process and provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions.
