rebuildingsociety.com Thread on p2pindependentforum.com

As rebuildingsociety.com doesn’t have an on-site forum, we’re looking to use the facility provided by p2pindependentforum.

If you’ve been a p2p lender for some time, you will no doubt have used the Zopa or Funding Circle forums, but where these have been purchased by those platforms, a new forum has been created by some of the most active forum members.

We want to keep an open dialogue with our members, so encourage you to use the thread to tell us what you like about the platform and what we can improve.

Borrowers can get 25% off arrangement fees when they refer lenders

We believe businesses should be able to borrow money from people they know through recognised third parties, like rebuildingsociety.com.

Lending to UK businesses as an investment in 2014

Business is invariably interwoven with politics and 2014 is set to be one of those years where politics has an enormous bearing on UK business. The question for those who lend to UK businesses is whether any of this will make a difference to investment decisions.

Big in the news at the moment is the lifting of the immigration cap on migrant workers from Romania and Bulgaria. Ed Milliband has suggested the UK is addicted to cheap labour, while rumours of a planned cap on migration by the Government (recently slammed by Vince Cable as unenforceable and illegal) reveal politicians’ eagerness not to let their election campaigns become dominated by immigration.
