With a whole year ahead of us, we’ve really no excuse.

It may be that some of you missed the glaring, open goal that is making use of the tax benefits offered by Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) – see our CEO, Nicola Horlick, on this very topic.

But, in Nicola’s own words: “As with any investment, there are risks involved. We always take security for our loans, but it is still possible to lose money.

The new loans that are currently on the site are rated A+ or A reflecting the quality of the security that has been given by the borrowers.”
