    Through a separate loan - could be either secured or unsecured, though both have their issues.

    A personal loan would seem to be the obvious choice.
    Potentially a 0% purchase credit card - if the goods/services you need can be paid for by card, and if you can get a card with a high enough limit, and if you'll be able to pay off the whole balance when the promotional rate expires.  But an ordinary personal loan is probably the more feasible option.
