How to Start an Installment Loan Biz

You know the drill. You have that burning desire to start your new business, BUT you just don’t know where to begin. You’ve heard about all the money being made by “lending money to the masses.”

What’s that mean: “Lending Money to the Masses?” It’s the business of providing various loan products to consumers; car title loans, installment loans, personal loans, and micro-loans..

You know in your gut that these loan businesses can generate SERIOUS profits for their owners! But you’re unsure of exactly what steps to take to be successful.

A recent study revealed that 63% of U.S. residents cannot meet a sudden $500 car repair bill!

Shocking!! What’s this mean for you? There is a HUGE and growing demand by consumers for access to small-dollar loans. It’s no secret Silicon Valley is launching new lending platforms by the boatload. However, the majority of these platforms are focused on 680+ FICO scores. There is not a lot of new competition for the “unbanked” and “underbanked” employed workers that absolutely must get their hands on $300 to $2500+ quickly and without a hassle.

You can fill this consumer need. We teach you how to make money by lending money. We teach you how to make collateralized loans to consumers [Car, boat, plane, RV, motorcycle…] and non-collateralized personal loans like payday, installment loans, micro, and line of credit.

No one else does what we do! Doubt me?  Start a Google search for “how to start a car title loan business.” Or search for “how to start a consumer lending business.” Jer & the Trihouse Team DOMINATE. The few competitors who have entered this title loan training space are long gone! We know our business. We’ve been doing it since 1998. Everyone in the title loan industry knows us, and I guarantee everyone making car title loans or providing products and services to our industry has read our “Bible” or attended one of our “Bootcamps.”

[I know what you’re thinking! If we are so good, why don’t we simply focus on lending to the masses ourselves? Here’s why:

  • It’s a $50 billion dollar industry. No lender in our industry has more than a 3% market share. Enova loaned nearly $300,000,000 last quarter. Curo is the same. We sure as hell don’t have the cash to dominate this industry either.

  • We ARE lenders. We have equity in 15 locations in four states. We own and operate online loan platforms as well. And we partner with Native American Indian tribes.

How do you start a consumer loan business?

This is NOT rocket science! Should you buy a loan franchise? We say NO! Here’s why. The Trihouse Team has over 20+ years of experience running businesses focused on car title, installment, payday loan, check cashing stores, and Internet portfolios. Our “The Business of Lending Money to the Masses Course”  today, require a few days to study it, then pick up the phone and call 702-208-6736 or email TrihouseConsulting@gmail.com with any questions.
