We built Bowery Capital for owners of valuable assets who need capital but don’t want to give up what they hold. Where most lenders see only a house or a stock portfolio, we look wider.
Why we exist
Value shouldn't have to be sold to be used.
A great deal of wealth sits in assets that traditional lenders won’t touch — art, collections, private holdings, and more. Too often the only way to access that value is to sell. We think there’s a better answer: borrow against what you own, keep ownership, and put the proceeds toward whatever matters without unwinding what you’ve built.
01
The asset stays yours
Collateral, not a sale. You pledge it, you keep it, and it returns to you unencumbered.
02
Terms built to the asset
No templates. Amounts, rates, and repayment are shaped around what you actually pledged.
03
Clear before you sign
Advance rate, cost, and what happens if values move, spelled out upfront, every time.
04
Judgment, not just boxes
If an asset holds durable, appraisable value, it’s worth a real conversation.
