rebuildingsociety.com is a Leeds-based peer-to-peer lending platform focusing on finance for small and medium businesses. The company was launched in 2012.
Innovative Finance ISA
With this Innovative Finance ISA (IFISA), rebuildingsociety.com offers the opportunity to lend to your own businesses, without paying personal taxes on returns made. You can choose how much to lend, from £10 up to the legal annual limit of £20,000. Transfer to and from other ISAs as you wish, make your own decisions, and access your capital on the Secondary Marketplace. Simple and straightforward, the IFISA process requires the transferral of bank funds or ISA holdings, which can then be used as normal, through the rebuildingsociety.com marketplace.
Other Services
As well as its Innovative Finance ISA, the company also offers pensions and business loans.
