Crowdfunding’s Exciting Week Ahead, But Banks Belong To Past

QUOTE Pars_Horlick 1

An exciting week ahead begins in Oxford

“Crowdfunding is an important part of the future for UK business – especially small and medium-sized enterprises, which employ 47 per cent of the UK work force,” says Nicola Horlick, CEO of Money&Co. Nicola heads off with a senior team for Oxford today. Ahead of the Money&Co. executives is a series of meetings with potential borrowers and lenders – plus a bit of friendly grappling with the local media.  See Nicola explain the case in this short video here.

If crowdfunding is the future, banks seem to belong to the past. The Financial Times ran a brutal piece on Friday, flatly stating that banks’ “margins, profits and dividends will never fully recover”, and that “lending sites offer quicker decisions for borrowers and better rates for savers”.

It’s a busy beginning to what promises to be an exciting week.
