Enjoy the attractive rates and helping small businesses
I used to run a small business, so I liked the idea of lending to businesses. I know many are having a tough time at the moment with the banks not lending, so it’s good to be able help in this way. I started with £500, but was quickly impressed and topped it up to £10,000 and I’m now getting an average gross yield of 9.5%.

Enjoy supporting small businesses
As the wife of a small business owner, I love the concept of using savings to help companies. I’ve lent a total of £5,000 and I’m earning 7.8%, which beats my ISAs. I enjoy choosing which companies to lend to. For instance, I’ve previously helped a small online retailer. It was rated higher-risk, but as a web manager, I could see its potential.
