Assetz Capital Completes Latest Seedrs Round With More Than £1.6 Million in Funding

Peer-to-peer lending platform Assetz Capital completed its latest equity crowdfunding round on Seedrs. The online lender launched the funding round last month and raised a total of £1,665,892. 

As previously reported, the launch of Assetz Capital’s latest funding round comes just after the online lender announced from April 2017 to September 2017 over £110 million was lent to creditworthy businesses nationwide through its platform, which is similar to the whole of last financial year. From April 2016 to March 2017, the lender lent a total of £126 million.

Since its launch, Assetz Capital has reportedly provided approximately £360 million in loans to UK SMEs backed by over 22,000 investors. Gross rates of returns stand from 3.75% to 15.15% on an annualized basis. Most recently, Assetz Capital announced it received full authorization from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and claimed second place in the ranking of UK’s largest P2P lenders as it reports lending in excess of £25 million per month on average to SMEs throughout the UK. The lender noted:

“Assetz Capital is one of the world’s leading Peer to Peer (P2P) business and property lenders and operates in the UK market. We facilitate direct secured lending between investors and business borrowers via our online investment marketplace. We believe we’ve now achieved critical scale, given that we are profitable and cash generative, a rare achievement in fintech.”

Earlier this fall, Assetz Capital announced that it received its full authorization by the FCA. At the time, Stuart Law, CEO of the lending platform, stated:

“We are pleased to have been granted full authorization by the FCA in the last few days, and as a result we will shortly be revealing plans for our highly anticipated IFISA as the next step of our mission to deliver secured peer-to-peer loans to all.Providing our investments within a tax free wrapper will help bring further respite to the income-starved investor.”

All funds from the latest Seedrs round are set to be used for expansion.
