Alternative finance – with peer-to-peer (P2P) loans at the forefront – is moving to the mainstream. This process will be accelerated as the Individual Savings Account season (this means, more or less, the last the months of the tax year, ending on 5th April).
Key to P2P’s movement into the mainstream is the big marketing push from the sector, as it etsablishes itself as a reputable and investable asset, and seeks to attract conversions from low-yield Cash ISAs.
Money&Co. lenders have achieved average gross returns of 8.6 per cent, before we levy our 1 per cent charge. More loans are landing on site soon.
Money&Co. brings individuals looking to get good return on capital with carefully vetted small businesses seeking funds to grow. In addition to new loan offerings, our secondary loan market, offering existing loans for sale by lenders, is available to registered Money&Co. users.
All loans can be held, tax-free, in an Innovative Finance Individual Savings Account, or Innovative Finance ISA.
