Is My Asset Ready for Monetization or Collateral Use?
Quick Self-Check Guide
Use the checklist below.
If you can answer YES to most of these, your asset is likely ready for review.
✅ STEP 1 — Authenticity (Required)
Can the asset be proven genuine?
✔ I can provide independent proof the asset is real
✔ I have certificates, assays, or issuer verification
✔ The asset is not a replica, copy, or unverifiable item
Examples:
-
Gold → assay / refinery report
-
Gems → GIA or equivalent certificate
-
Documents → issuer or forensic verification
➡️ If NO: The asset is not ready yet.
✅ STEP 2 — Verifiable Value (Required)
Can the value be supported, not just claimed?
✔ I can show how the value was calculated
✔ I have appraisals, assays, or market references
✔ The valuation method is reasonable and explainable
Value must be defensible, not aspirational.
➡️ If NO: The asset needs proper valuation first.
✅ STEP 3 — Clear Ownership (Required)
Can you prove you legally own the asset?
✔ I have title, proof of purchase, or transfer documents
✔ Ownership is clear and undisputed
✔ No one else can claim rights to the asset
➡️ If NO: Ownership must be clarified before review.
✅ STEP 4 — Possession (“Proof of Life”)
Do you physically control the asset?
✔ The asset is in my possession or controlled custody
✔ I can show it via inspection, video, or site visit
✔ It is not “somewhere else” or controlled by another party
In law and banking, possession demonstrates control.
➡️ If NO: The asset is not ready yet.
✅ STEP 5 — Legitimate Transfer & Chain of Custody
Was the asset acquired legally?
✔ I can explain how I obtained the asset
✔ The transfer was lawful and documented
✔ The asset is not stolen, disputed, or encumbered
✔ Prior owner information can be confirmed if needed
This protects both the client and the bank from litigation.
➡️ If NO: The asset cannot be accepted.
✅ STEP 6 — No Undisclosed Liens or Claims
Is the asset free and clear?
✔ No hidden liens or pledges
✔ No unresolved legal disputes
✔ No prior assignments unless disclosed
➡️ If NO: The issue must be resolved first.
✅ STEP 7 — Willingness to Structure (Important)
Are you willing to structure the asset if required?
✔ I understand the asset may be assigned or co-signed
✔ I understand custody may be bonded or controlled
✔ I understand ownership may be temporarily structured (not sold)
Asset monetization is structured finance, not a pawn shop.
➡️ If NO: Monetization may not be possible.
