Commonly Asked Borrowing Questions (FAQs) – Jose Miguel Artiles Ceballos

Borrowing in Finance refers to taking money from a source with a formal agreement in place that states the funds will be repaid by a certain date and in stated regular instalments. Most borrowed funds usually incur interest, which means that the borrower has to pay an additional interest amount, which is usually a percentage of the total sum borrowed. 

Jose Miguel Artiles Ceballos is the director of Bandenia Formula Capital LTD, and explains that the interest amount is paid as compensation to the lender for lending the funds. In this article, Jose Miguel Artiles Ceballos explains the commonly asked questions that borrowers need to ask before borrowing funds from any source. 

What are the Various Types of Borrowing?

Jose Miguel Artiles Ceballos points out that many people do not know the various types of borrowing. In fact, borrowing exists in many forms and can be classified in different ways. Most loans are either secured, or unsecured. 

Secured loans means they are backed by an asset, which can be forfeited to the lender if the borrower fails to repay the loan. While unsecured loans mean they do not have any collateral in place. Some of the common types of borrowing include the following: 

  • Mortgages 

  • Personal Loans

  • Credit Card Advances 

  • Title Loans

  • Payday Loans

  • Bank Overdrafts

What are the Advantages of Borrowing Money? 

There are plenty of advantages to borrowing money. The biggest advantage is, of course, the opportunity to obtain something you can’t afford to purchase outright. Also, borrowing money skips time and the need for saving up the required amount. It has been observed that people often borrow money to buy things they could never purchase on their own, such as a house that costs six-figures. 

Borrowing can also be considered as a more efficient use of your money. Even if a person could afford to buy something he needs outright, it might not make much sense to spend all your remaining funds on it. Therefore, borrowing funds can allow you to categorize your income in different ways or even in a variety of investments. 

Another important advantage of borrowing money is that it can establish a credit history or improve your existing credit score. If you handle your debts responsibly, pay back your loans fully, and make your payments on time, it can help you improve your credit history and enable you to take out bigger loans in the future. 

What is the Cheapest Way to Borrow Money? 

Simply put, there is no single cheapest way to borrow money. In fact, a variety of factors can have an impact on the interest rate you will have to pay. The interest you pay can depend on the type of loan acquired, the lender you are borrowing from, and also on your current situation. 

In any case, some of the better methods for borrowing money can include the following: 

  • Personal Loans

  • Home Equity Loans

  • Lines of Credit 

  • Credit Cards

  • An FDIC-Insured Bank 

  • Credit Unions 

  • Offline Lenders or Banks

All in all, there are a variety of ways in which one can borrow money. The traditional institutions that offer loans include Banks, Credit Unions, and Finance Companies such as Bandenia Formula Capital LTD.
