Mortgage advisers can adopt one of several options, from branded introducer, which is a branded portal to capture applications and promotes the broker’s involvement in the industry, to a full, independent platform managed by the adviser firm.
Managing director, Daniel Rajkumar said: “Our research suggests awareness is the biggest barrier to peer-to-peer lending achieving its long term potential.”
He added brokers either running their own platform powered by rebuildingsociety.com or introducing borrowers to us through a white-labelled site can only help us grow.”
Rajkumar said a delivery timeframe from agreement to launch is as low as one month with residual support packages available.
Paul Thompson, managing director of Acorn 4 Finance, one of rebuildingsociety.com’s clients, added: “This market has experienced rapid growth and has already helped a number of our clients to access finance, including through rebuildingsociety.com. Having our own branded site makes sense because we can process applications quickly and filter suitable applications before passing them through to funding platforms. The whole process was straightforward and didn’t take up a lot of time, which for any broker is crucial.
“It ties our brand to the market and positions us as a specialist, which as our clients become more aware of peer-to-business lending, will benefit us in the long term.”
