To all that have replied, thank you.
Putting the whole idea of collateral aside, I'd like to just simply know of financial institutions that are open minded to working with a cryptocurrency business. We have been having difficulties with traditional financial institutions. Any suggestions of companies open to cryptocurrency businesses would be appreciated.
Most banks are risk-averse and will not entertain proposals related to cryptocurrency or if it remotely endangers their compliance position. Bankers tend to be anti-crypto so you can expect to continue to encounter difficulties with traditional banks in the foreseeable future. This negativity is unfortunate but there is little room for change in an environment where governments offer little to no encouragement either.
As for your question above, would this be a query along the lines of establishing accounts with banks? Or is this specifically lending related? Lending will invariably require collateral. Accounts will depend on which country your business is registered in and which business model you operate. Banks will look into that for compliance purposes.
If you want flexibility, sign up for Estonia's E-Residency. Then register your company in Estonia. When that's done, you can quickly and painlessly open an account with Holvi. Holvi can open a business account for you. I'm sure they are crypto friendly.
