Peer-to-peer lenders, abbreviated to P2P, provide an alternate option to conventional bank finance.
P2P refers to the practice of individuals or businesses lending money directly to other individuals or businesses through platforms established specifically for the purpose.
In this context, investors (lenders) provide funds to borrowers seeking financing, and the transactions are facilitated by P2P lending platforms that match the two parties based on their needs and risk profiles. Borrowers can use the funds for various purposes, such as personal loans, small business financing, or property development and/or acquisition.
