Unbolted continues its move into the art and antiques sector with Holts the latest firm to offer its lending services to customers, writes Laura Chesters.
The online lending platform, founded in 2014, facilitates peer-to-peer lending, allowing individuals to borrow against the value of their personal assets such as luxury watches, cars, fine arts, antiques, jewellery and gold.
Co-founder Rito Haldar said around 25% of its customers are small business owners with a number of dealers and auctioneers now using the service. Companies now offering Unbolted products include Forum Auctions, Fellows, Lyon & Turnbull, H&H Classic Cars, Barons Classic Cars and IG Wines.
