Crowd2Fund offers borrowers option to switch to revenue loans

Crowd2Fund is offering suitable borrowers the option to switch to a revenue loan from a fixed term loan, to help protect businesses during the pandemic.

The peer-to-peer business lender’s revenue loan product gives borrowers more flexibility than a traditional fixed-term loan, as repayments are correlated to monthly turnover.

Crowd2Fund said that investors are also likely to earn more interest as a result of a switch, as capital may be deployed for longer. However, an investor can still choose to sell their loan on the exchange.

“During the Covid-19 crisis, we are promoting this innovative product — helping businesses access capital, earn good interest for investors, and offer much-needed flexibility. The Crowd2Fund revenue loan is well established and already used by a wide range of clients.”
