"Funding Circle has been feted as an alternative to banks for those looking to borrow money.
It draws on a pool of funds collected from individuals and firms, which is then lent to small businesses vetted by the company.
But annual losses widened last year to £50.7m. It blamed investment in marketing and the costs of selling shares.
The company sold shares for the first time on the London Stock Exchange last September.
Chief executive Samir Desai said: "Funding Circle is in a strong position financially and operationally, and we are confident of meeting our growth expectations for the year."

I'm thinking of investing in barge poles - I expect significant interest Q2/Q3.

Sounds like Tent Poles are going to be big too!

Of course, I wouldn't want to risk any of my own money, would I?
