Are you in “the business of lending money to the masses?”

Do you still think of yourself simply as a payday loan lender? A check casher? A bail bondsman? A personal or installment loan provider?

If you do, you are WRONG! You’re a “Financial Service Center.” You sell money! You sell money in the form of loans. Car title loans. Payday loans. Personal loans. Installment loans.

Does you business offer car title loans? No? Big mistake! Plenty of money to be made with a lot less risk!

Google says “car title loan” searches are up 33%. Here’s the proof:

how to start a car title loan business

Per Google: Car Title Loan Searches Increase 33%

What’s this mean to you? Millions of consumers in the USA want to borrow money by putting  the title to their car up as collateral! Why is that a big deal? Because, if you’re a lender, your loan is collateralized by the car. This is not your mommy’s typical high risk payday loan.If a car title loan is not paid back, the lender takes the collateral- the car!

How’s a car title loan work?

Use one of the many tools revealed in our Manual: “How to Lend Money to the Masses” to determine the “low book value” of the car in your geographic area. Agree to loan up to 50% of this “low book” value to your car title loan customer. Our Course walks you through how to legally become the title holder on your borrower’s car. Then, depending on the state you operate in, you charge fees and interest to this borrower.

EXAMPLE: We operate in Calif. The law allows us to charge any amount we like as long as the loan amount is greater than $2500. The going rate today in Los Angeles varies from 8% to as high as 18% paid monthly on the loan principal.

THE REAL WORLD MATH! So, a Ford pickup that “low books” at $9K warrants a car title loan in the amount of $4000 at let’s say 9%/month. Until this Ford truck owner pays off the $9K, they will be paying you $360/month, month after month after month… in fees.

Worst case? Eventually they stop paying you? You email your repossession service – revealed in our Course. This repo service scans tens of thousands of license plates in Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target… parking lots. In a few hours/days they get a “hit.” This repo service hooks up the car, delivers it to the auction where it’s refurbished and sold in one of the auction lanes.

The auction sends you a check. How big? In the real world?

Low book value was $9k. Let’s assume the borrower has been paying you $360 per month for 9 months [$4000 loan at 9%/month payment. So… after 9 months this Ford truck is a little worn. It brings $7500 at the auction. The auction charges you $150 refurbishing fee [high] and $350 to perform auction services [high: include repo charges]. You net $7000.

Summing up:

  • You loaned the owner of this Ford truck $4000.
  • You received 9 payments of $360 = $3240 [Note these are FEES NOT LOAN PRINCIPAL PAY DOWN!]
  • You received $7000 from the auction
  • In total, over this 9 month period, you received $10,240 [$3240 + $7000 = ]. You loaned the Ford truck owner $4000. Your NET is $6240.
  • That’s a 253% ROI on your money in .7 years [270 days]

The more likely scenario? The one we experience?

We have car title loan clients who have customers that continue to pay their monthly fee payment for YEARS! In this example, $360/month year after year! The result? After a car title loan borrower pays $360/month – month after month – they still owe you the $4000 loan principal!

Get started now! Let us teach you how we do it. Learn “The Business of Lending Money to the Masses” today.

Title Loan Companies are Profitable?

So… you’ve been “googling” for weeks trying to figure out if a car title loan business you’ve been thinking about starting is gonna make money.

Title Loan Companies Profitable?

You see the title loan stores all around you. Maybe you’ve even noticed a few new title loan companies opening up in your city.

Do Title Loan Stores Make Money?

Let’s take a look at some real world numbers:

A title loan customer walked into our California store after “finding” us on her phone. [Yep, it’s important your website look great on a cellphone!]

She had a job and a 2009 Toyota 4Runner with 84,000 miles loaded with equipment. This truck was in fair shape. Low book value was close to $15K. She needed $3000 for 30 days. She had a clear title…

How could we go wrong in this scenario? We couldn’t! In Calif., under the Department of Business Oversight CFL licensing rules, we can charge whatever interest rate we choose to. Of course, as so often stated in our “Car Title Loan Training Manual,” we know what our competitors are charging because we mystery shop them monthly.

So… $3000 at 9% per month is what we proposed. She accepted. For the math challenged – like me – that works out to $270/month in interest for as long as she chooses to keep our $3000.

That’s $270/month for a car title loan month after month until she pays back our $3000 loan principal. So, she could conceiveably pay us $270/month for 8 months, as just one example, $2160 in fees AND still owe us $3000! Let’s not forget we have the title to a truck worth at least $12K in a fire sale!

Now, every State is different. [We have the car title loan State license applications and fee structures for every State these loans are legal in.]

Car title loan fees in the USA range from 3%/month to 25%+ per month!

It doesn’t take much of an imagination to realize that if in California, for example, we have $100,000 “on the street” in the form of car title loans earning 9% per month in gross fee income that equals $9,000/month. If our title oans average $3000, we only need 33 title loans; that’s ONE PER DAY. You think one employee can handle this volume 🙂 Will your city demographics support this?

Car title loan monthly store expenses:

  • Rent = $750
  • Employee (22 days/month at $20/hr all in = $3520 [High]
  • Insurance, advertising, phones, software, licenses, accting, etc. = $500
  • Misc. B.S. = $200/month
  • NET before taxes = $4000/month ABSENTEE OPERATED = $48K/year

Now, this takes care of all your fixed costs. What if, after working your ass-off or an investor came forward, you could put together another $100K to “work on the street.”

$9,000 per month less your variable overhead = roughly $75,600/year + the $48,000/year totals $123,600! Recall that you would certainly not need another employee for this scenario!

So… YES! CAR TITLE LOAN LENDING IS PROFITABLE!

Car Title Loan Profits

Car Title Loan Profits

Every entrepreneur wants to know how much money they can make in the car title loan industry!

Triple digit annual percentage rates (APR’s) are typical for car title loan stores. A  Missouri State Auditor’s Report revealed the average to be 200% to nearly 400%. Illinois approached 300%. Wisconsin averages 300%. Typical fees on a $500 loan are 25% per month; $125 month interest only. These are typical rates for car title loan companies having stores in states having fee caps. When operating in states not having prescribed statutes, you will experience even higher APR’s.

Car Title Loan ProfitsIt’s not uncommon for car title loan stores to minimize their APR calculations by failing to compute them properly. This is not necessarily intentional. Many operators simply don’t know how to calculate an APR correctly. This is not recommended. It can lead to serious problems, particularly after you become extremely successful. You will become a target. Your solution is to invest in vcar title loan management software. Our “Car Title Loan Bible” has a lengthy chapter devoted to this subject.
