Click on the Login or Register button at the top right-hand corner of the screen.

Register your details, including bank account details, to transfer money for lending and for receiving interest and capital repayments.

Once you’ve been accepted (the law requires us to check you are who you say you are) go to the loan auctions page and look at the businesses seeking funds.

Decide which borrowers you like and place a bid. You can bid to lend as little as £10 per loan until the auction closes. Prudent lenders will lend small amounts to several companies to spread risk.

After the auction closes and the borrower gets the funds, monthly payments will begin. We distribute these payments to you, the lenders.
