Panel

The direct lending opportunity in property

The Alternative Property Forum - Tuesday 19 June 2018

  • Emma said that ‘direct lending’ means different things to different people, depending on the funding source and end customers.

  • Rod clarified that LendInvest is not a P2P platform – he now sees the business as an ‘alternative fund manager’, and it is registered with the FCA as such.

  • Andrea said that, when looking at this space, institutional investors will consider the track records of lenders, the people on board, the technology that is used to support the business, and methods of ensuring they have skin in the game.

  • Rod also said that operating an off-balance sheet model (such as P2P) is a great way to scale a lender quickly and efficiently.
