It is specifically developed for online lending and to support UK firms who need investment. By investing in businesses with the IFISA, you can earn tax-free interest. You will receive regular interest-only payments and the capital is repaid at the end of the term. With this ISA you choose the entrepreneurs that you wish to back, and you can potentially earn 6% to 15% APR, before fees, tax and bad debt. To be eligible you need to be a UK resident for tax purposes and aged 18 or over.
