Alliance Loan Company, operating as Geauga Pawn and Alliance Loan Company, has served the Northeast Ohio region since 1990 across two locations in Stark and Geauga Counties. The company is a state-licensed pawnbroker (License #PB100167.000) regulated by Ohio and holds membership in the Ohio Pawnbrokers Association, National Pawnbrokers Association, Mid-America Jewelers Association, NFIB, and Ohio Council of Retail Merchants.
The company operates a traditional pawn shop model with three primary services: buying items outright for cash, selling used and secondhand merchandise, and providing collateral-based loans. They accept gold and diamond jewelry, coins and bullion, firearms and weapons, musical instruments, televisions, tools, hunting gear, video game systems, and other items of value. They also offer in-house jewelry repair services and evaluate items while customers wait, providing transparent pricing at the point of sale.
Alliance Loan distinguishes itself through longevity (nearly three decades of operation), staff reputation for fair pricing and customer service, membership in multiple professional organizations indicating regulatory compliance and industry standards, and dual convenient locations serving surrounding areas. Customer testimonials highlight fair prices on pawned items, reasonable offers on purchased merchandise, and inventory of major brand-name goods at prices below retail.
As with all pawn operations, consumers should understand this is a collateral-based lending model where failure to redeem pawned items results in loss of the collateral, and selling items forfeits ownership permanently. While the company emphasizes fair pricing and professional reputation, pawn lending rates and terms are not disclosed on the website, and this remains a high-cost alternative to traditional financing.
