Pawn Shop Boca Raton

Start by searching for a pawn shop in your area.  If you live in a city you will surprised how many pawn shops there.  There is practically one on every corner, like McD’s or Starbucks.  But how come you haven’t noticed them before?  Because you haven’t need one. But as soon as you need a pawn shop you will find one, I guarantee it.  So what is a pawn shop Boca Raton?  What do they do?  Most of us know they give people cash in exchange for valuables.  But we don’t know how they work on a business level.  Do they charge interest?  How much?  Can the pawn shop sell the items?  It all gets a bit confusing.  Here is the pawn shop for dummies edition.

Basically, a pawn shop is a lender; but more specifically a collateral lender.  A pawn shop’s main business objective is to lend money to customers.  The more money they lend, the more interest they can collect, and that drives the business.

Pawn shops are the most popular form of collateral lending in the world.  It is also the oldest form of lending.  Before there were banks, people visited pawn shops to get a loan.

There are pluses and minuses to every business and this applies to pawn shops as well.  The pluses for customers are quick cash, no credit report, and under the table.  Clients can get cash immediately for their valuables.  They don’t have to wait for a bank or other lender to process paperwork before hand.  As long as their collateral is worth the amount of the loan they can get a loan instantly.  Pawn shops don’t check your credit.  It doesn’t matter if you never pay your credit card, a pawn shop can help.  Pawn loans are also under the table, so they won’t effect your credit.  They are discreet loans that no one has to know about, unless you want them to.

However, there are some negatives.  Pawn shops usually charge very high annual interest rates.  They can very easily be well over 100% per year.  But, since there are so many pawn shops around interest rates are very competitive.  You can negotiate with your local pawn shop and pay very little interest over the life of the loan.  Plus, pawn loans are supposed to be short term options, not long term.

Pawn shops are a quick and easy way to get a short term loan.  They are considered collateral lenders and are one of the oldest forms of lending in the world.  Your local pawn shop can get you out of a pinch if necessary.
