Did they get married? So it's natural for them to want to start something together.

Marriage marks the beginning of a new stage - not only emotional, but also practical and financial.

After celebrating the union, it is common to have the desire to take joint steps towards common goals: remodeling the house, taking a big trip, investing in your own business, or even buying a new car.  

But how to finance a couple's project? The good news is that there are solutions designed for those who want to dream and build together. Let's see.

Projects for two: What do you want to achieve together?

Every couple has their own plans and none is more important than the other, as long as it is shared and aligned. Some of the most common projects after marriage include:

  • Buy furniture or home appliances;
  • Open a business with your spouse;  
  • Finance a late honeymoon or a big trip;  
  • Acquire a car;  
  • Bet on education for one or both members of the couple. 

All these plans can benefit from a financial boost, and that's where personal credit for couples can be an ally.

What financing options are available for couples?  

Whatever the goal, there is a type of financing adapted to the reality of the couple. Here are the main: 

Personal credit

Ideal for specific and controlled value projects (such as construction, travel, training, or acquisitions) or for investment at the beginning of a two-person business.  

Personal credit allows individuals to request an amount tailored to their needs, with adjustable terms and monthly payments. Any couple can apply for this credit together, increasing the likelihood of approval and the possible amount.

Mortgage credit  

If the project is to buy a house, the home loan is the choice for the acquisition of permanent housing. For more information visit here.

Consolidated credit.

If you already have several credits in the name of one or both, consolidating them can free up monthly budget for new projects.  

The consolidated credit combines all loans into one, with a single lower installment and a more competitive interest rate. (Source: www.poupancanominuto.com)

How to know which is the right financing for your case?

The choice of the ideal financing depends on several factors: the necessary amount, urgency, purpose, and, of course, your joint financial capacity. It may seem complex, but you don't have to decide alone.

This is where the credit intermediaries from Poupança no Minuto come in: with free and impartial advice, they analyze your situation and find the best solutions on the market - without stress or complications.

Precautions to take when applying for joint credit.

Requesting credit from two people has advantages, such as a higher declared income and a higher possible amount, but it also implies shared responsibilities.  

Here are some important points:

  • Effort rate: The lower, the better. Ideally, monthly installments should not exceed 30%-35% of the combined income.
  • Credit history: If one of the members of the couple has a default history, it can affect approval.
  • Mutual responsibility: Both are responsible for the full payment of the credit, even if the relationship ends.
  • Long-term planning: Predicting scenarios like unemployment or increased expenses helps choose a more sustainable credit.

How to save money even when borrowing credit.

Yes, it is possible to save... even when taking out a loan. How? By subscribing to credit protection insurance.

  • Compare multiple proposals before accepting;
  • Negotiate deadlines and rates;
  • Avoid unnecessary commissions.
  • Evaluate the total cost of credit (APR) and not just the monthly installment.

Through the support of Poupança no Minuto, they can access the best market proposals at no cost, with personalized assistance.

Conclusion: A project for two, with feet firmly on the ground.

Getting married is sharing dreams. But making them a reality requires planning, balance, and smart financial choices. Whether it's a business, a home, or a simple renovation, there is always a way to achieve projects together without unbalancing the budget.
