With the retail sector enduring its fair share of challenges, companies are looking at new ways to attract customers, and drive conversion. In an overcrowded, dog-eat-dog marketplace, with behemoths such as Amazon flexing their muscle, it’s easier said than done.
We're in the Startups 100 list for 2015!
We’re really pleased to announce that, following a record number of entries this year, we are included in the 2015 edition of the Startups 100, an index of the UK’s “brightest businesses”, “hottest start-up talent” and “successful trailblazers” from a range of industries.
Now in its sixth year, the Startups 100 list recognises privately-owned UK companies launched on or after 1 January 2012 which demonstrate innovation, solid financials and growth potential.
The 100-strong collective of businesses boasts over £140million in investment between them. The rankings are based on a unique scoring system that looks at turnover, net profit, funds raised and employee numbers. In addition, the quality and success in terms of factors such as market innovation, the founders and future potential impact are taken into consideration.
The 2015 index includes companies from a diverse range of sectors and it’s great to see fintech continue to stand out with a number of new entrants. We are now really proud to join the incredibly impressive alumni that the Startup 100 index is home to, including Hailo, notonthehighstreet.com and Currency Cloud. You can read more on how we got there by clicking here.
Our presence in the Startups 100 comes in the wake of our nomination for the honour of ‘Most trusted personal loan provider’ in Moneywise’s Customer Service Awards for 2015, while Lending Works’ co-founder and Financial Director, Matthew Powell, has been nominated for the Real Business’ 2015 FDs’ Excellence Awards, recognising role models in finance.
Such esteemed acknowledgements of our progress are incredibly rewarding, but by no means will it result in us resting on our laurels. Instead, these will inspire us to seek continued and sustained progression in everything we do. We hope the honours continue to flow as we go from strength to strength, but, more importantly, we trust that such acclaim will coincide with an ever-increasing contingent of satisfied customers, who will always be our priority.

On 4 June 2019, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) released its new regulatory framework for peer-to-peer lending (P2P); a Policy Statement known as PS19/14. As you might imagine, it's a document which, following a three-month consultation, is a hefty read of no fewer than 102 pages.

For all the resilience the UK economy has shown, there is no doubt that this year's ISA season is set against a backdrop of uncertainty. Whatever the pros and cons, Brexit, and a lack of clarity on what our future economic relationship with the EU will look like, has left us at a crossroads.
The housing crisis in the UK is widely mentioned in the media, but the extent of it is often underestimated.

In a difficult climate, customer acquisition and lead generation present stern challenges for UK retailers, and a great deal of marketing spend invariably gets directed towards getting feet through the door.
There is a variety of literature and research illustrating the importance of building brand loyalty, albeit with some degree of variance.
Over the last decade, there can be little dispute that the reputation of mainstream banks – and particularly the so-called ‘Big Four’ (HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds and RBS) – is at its lowest ebb.
The idea of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending is a simple one; you lend money to those who wish to borrow, with a view to receiving a great return for doing so.
The peer-to-peer (P2P) lending industry is now regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The regulatory framework has been designed to protect customers and promote effective competition.
When you earn interest from a regular bank savings account, for example, the bank automatically deducts basic rate tax (currently 20%) before paying your interest. With interest earned from peer-to-peer lending, tax is not deducted automatically so lenders will need to declare their income to HMRC.

The financial crisis is a bitter memory of what can go wrong when regulators lose control of markets. It seems hard to fathom now, but a little over a decade ago, buyers could acquire mortgages to the tune of 125 per cent of the home’s value (the Northern Rock Together mortgage being one of the most infamous), with only the most lax affordability checks standing in their way.
Numerous theories have emerged as to why the UK has endured such a severe productivity problem over the last decade. Growth in productivity of just 2 per cent during that period would typically have been accomplished within a single year prior to the financial crisis, and thus the 'productivity puzzle' continues to confound economists
In the aftermath of the financial crisis back in 2008/09, the Bank of England (BoE) had considerable headroom in terms of monetary policy, and - rightly - it made full use of it.
While it has held up better than expected over the past year or two, the UK economy and its macroeconomic indicators make for anaemic reading.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the global financial system as a whole is predicated on the ability to buy something now, and pay for it later. Barely anyone would be able to make a substantial purchase such as a house without an instrument like a mortgage.
With political parties jostling for position amid a series of Elections, and the ongoing spectre of a snap General Election looming large, the Labour Party put forward a policy last week which has proved to be a talking point: increasing the minimum wage to £10 per hour, and extending this to workers under the age of 18.
