We also support business owners who have Small Self Administered Schemes (SSAS) that they would like to invest in Peer-to-Peer loans. The Lendy service provides a fairer and easier way to manage your investment and as an investor you could start earning gross rates of return of up to 12% per annum today. The benefits of using a SIPP or SSAS to invest in Peer-to-Peer lending is that interest may be earned and reinvested tax free.

Back in March 2014 the Chancellor George Osborne announced in his budget that there would be a relaxation in the rules around pensions thus giving people the chance to manage their own finances more, consider investment solutions that are not based on buying an annuity and to be able to look at opportunities like Peer-to-Peer Lending. Investing in Peer-to-Peer using your SIPP allows you to choose the bridging loans you want to lend to, and the amount of money you want to lend.

Most UK pensions are managed by institutional fund managers who decide where your pension savings are invested. More and more people are now taking control of their retirement investments and setting up either a SIPP or a SSAS (Self Invested Personal Pension or a Small Self-Administered Scheme).This has given the pension holder some choice as to where their fund is invested. A SIPP or SSAS allows you, the pension holder, to make your own investment decisions alongside the scheme trustees. A Peer-to-Peer SIPP or SSAS now offers you a new option for investment.
