How does a Spotcap loan compare with P2P lending?

Businesses are often attracted to Peer to Peer lending because it avoids engagement with major banks and other traditional lenders, with their often slow and bureaucratic approval processes.

A Spotcap loan offers a more straightforward approach. Benefit from an online application process, a prompt response based on a unique assessment of a firm’s current financial condition, and the absence of a need for security.

Further advantages include considerable flexibility, with no requirement to borrow and pay interest on all the funds that were applied for, and no penalty for early repayment. All these features mean a Spotcap loan is a versatile solution for your business finance needs.
