5. Confirm Borrow: Review details and finalize the transaction to receive the borrowed funds.

Important Considerations:

* [Health Factor](/health-factor-and-loan-to-value-ratio-ltv.md#health-factor): Represents the health of your debt position. Your Health Factor decreases the more you borrow. The lowest you can go is to a Health Factor of 1.&#x20;
* [Repayment](/using-amply-finance/repaying-loans.md): Remember to repay the borrowed amount plus interest to avoid liquidation.

By understanding these steps and considerations, you can effectively leverage Amply Finance to meet your financial needs.
