Private Peer Loans

Many business owners do not need to borrow from a bank. Entrepreneurs are often able to privately arrange loans with wealthy individuals, perhaps with the assistance of a solicitor. Through the rebuildingsociety.com Private Peer Loans offering, borrowers and lenders can arrange their loan quickly and cost effectively.

How It Works

A business creates a private loan profile listing, by providing the loan application information. rebuildingsociety.com then reviews the application in line with its credit risk analysis policy and awards a risk rating. The loan profile is created, available only for the borrower to share by private invitation. Borrowers are given a link to their loan profile, which they can distribute to trusted investors. This has the advantage of keeping key performance information private.

The arrangement fee for Private Peer Loans is 3.25%, which is used to pay for the setup of the legal agreements and to administer the formalisation of the 36H loan agreement, in accordance with regulatory peer-to-peer lending standards. There is no margin taken between what the borrower pays and what the lenders receive. This has several advantages.

Benefits for the Borrower

  • Privacy: Keep key performance information confidential
  • Confidence: Invite known and trusted investors
  • Exclusive: Pay interest to your invited syndicate members
  • Flexible: Option to pay up to two interest-only periods per year

Benefits for the Lender

  • Tax advantages: Use your ISA allowance/bad debt is tax deductible
  • Liquidity: A secondary market allows you to divest when you need your cash. This requires that there is a demand for a loan, so if a loan falls into arrears you may need to sell at a discount to create demand.
  • Security: Missed repayments are chased by rebuildingsociety.com, who will enforce the security in case of default
  • Communication: The discussion forum makes it easy to get updates on business performance and to interact
