The Peer to Peer market is being talked about almost daily in the financial press (whether it’s Funding Circle becoming a ‘unicorn’ or Zopa’s incredible returns for investors) and it’s fair to say it’s an industry that’s here to stay – and indeed flourish – as a result of the banks’ failures since 2008.

Often seen as an alternative financier and with less regulation than the banks, P2P lenders are quicker, more engaging and a true lender to the SME market.

What is P2P finance?

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Finance is an innovative way of enabling consumers and businesses to borrow and lend money. P2P enables people who have money to put it to work for competitive returns through lending to other individuals or businesses online. P2P was pioneered in the UK in 2005 and by Q4 2015 platforms have enabled lenders to provide over £4.4billion of funds to UK consumers and businesses, with expectations that the sector will continue to double in size every six months going forward.
