There are many forms of assets that an individual or company can own or possess that can be used as collateral and subsequently monetized to create equity or capital for project funding.
Cash can be used as collateral with nearly all institutions who offer project funding solutions, many of whom do not require the cash fund to be moved in order to participate in a trade program or platform that generates capital or equity.
Sale proceeds can be used to acquire additional operations, stabilize costs, or revitalize existing properties, retire existing debt to increase revenue production; there are no restrictions on the use of the funds.
