Get cash from your property without selling it

A secured loan lets you unlock cash and direct it into your business to grow working capital, open new branches, and launch new ventures.

Make your house, office building, or commercial property work as hard as you do.

Whatever you own, wherever it is, there's a lender for it

A family home, a commercial shophouse, farmland out in the provinces. Our panel is wide enough that there's a lender for your property, anywhere in the country.

Two ways businesses use secured capital

Secured loans use your assets as collateral to unlock rates well below unsecured financing. Most businesses use that for one of two things.

Access new capital

Borrow against what you already own

Unlock a large share of your unencumbered property value for expansion, inventory, or equipment, turning a static asset into working capital without selling anything.

Property value₱10,000,000
Accessible capital (70%)₱7,000,000

Refinance expensive debt

Swap a high rate for a low one

Replace costly unsecured loans with property-backed financing at a far lower rate. The interest you save each year often covers the cost of moving several times over.

Illustrative figures only. Actual rates, loan-to-value, and amounts depend on each financial institution partner's assessment.

A single lender can take months, and still say no. Not with Buhay.

Going to one lender at a time can drag on for months, and you can still be turned down with nothing to show for it. Buhay takes your file to several secured lenders at once, which spreads the risk and makes it far more likely you walk away with a real term sheet, sooner.

Secured is cheaper. Our network, cheaper still.

Secured rates already sit well below unsecured. And because our panel competes for your deal, a Buhay secured offer typically lands under the market average too.
