Lending and Advice Solutions |
|
At some point in our lives the majority of us will need to use someone else’s money to purchase or renovate a home or for investment purposes. In many cases we go to a bank or non-bank lender, a family member, business or sophisticated investor to arrange a loan.
Whoever the source of our debt, what’s clear is that at some stage the money will need to be repaid. When borrowing money it is important to consider who owns the debt, what the interest and repayment terms are and how they can change, what’s the tax impact of the debts structuring, what happens to the debt if you die or can no longer meet the terms of repayment and what emergency plan is in place if there is an adverse change in the economy, legislation or your financial circumstance.
Our advisers have worked with many finance providers, accountants and solicitors structuring investments so that the end goal has then best chance of being achieved.
