7 How Lending for Growth works How to become a lender A business makes a borrowing request The business makes an initial borrowing request that is subject to our underwriting process. Our underwriting team perform a series of checks before posting the borrowing request on our platform. The value of the property, business risk band and type of charge determines the amount of interest they will pay. Funding the loan Once on our platform the borrowing request is available for our lenders to review, assess and pledge against. If the borrowing request receives sufficient funding, the borrower will be able to sign the loan documents and complete the loan. Repayments Interest and capital loans are designed to be paid back in the form of monthly interest and capital payments, starting approximately one month after the loans are active. Interest only loans pay monthly interest instalments, starting approximately one month after loans are active, with a single principal payment at the end of the loan s term. If a loan defaults If a loan defaults, we will instigate the collections and recoveries process and, if necessary, take charge of the security and sell the asset to distribute the proceeds to lenders.
