ARTBANX helps collectors and professionals to rapidly release the value of specific items in a portfolio via a mechanism known as art financing. Whether it is liquidating fine art or other collectables, ARTBANX allows you to unlock capital whenever you need it – and keep your portfolio intact.
Up until relatively recently, art was viewed as a slow-moving, illiquid asset. In order to unlock the value of a specific artwork, it would typically be made available for sale using traditional methods – which can be both slow and expensive.
Over the past decade, however, a new solution known as art financing has emerged to help owners and professionals to create liquidity from their portfolios much more quickly. It is of particular interest to collectors who view their art not just as an emotional investment, but as part of their overall balance sheet.
Art financing is the provision of bespoke loans with the artwork held as the underlying asset (collateral). In some instances, the owner of the artwork is permitted to keep the artwork for the duration of the loan; in others, the art is securely held in a Freeport.
You can quickly and easily apply for art financing through the ARTBANX platform. Quotes from reputable specialists typically come back in a matter of days, with loan periods varying from just a few months to several years.
In the near future we will introduce tokenised solutions that provide even more opportunities for art financing.
