With the inclusion of Market Invoice (a member of the P2P finance association) more than £1.25billion of peer-to-peer loans have been arranged since 2005. By my estimation/calculation there is currently over £0.75billion currently invested in peer-to-peer loans, and this will break the £1billion mark later this year.
There are several new peer-to-peer companies launching soon - the more I look the more I find - although it is getting harder to differentiate them from each other. I'm not quite sure all of them are ready for regulation. I'm also a little worried that with the press coverage this sector is attracting there are people wanting to jump on the peer-to-peer bandwagon through various means.
There top three companies have remained pretty unchanged since the start, but the subsequent 5 are moving away from the rest. These include new companies such as Assetz Capital, Wellesley & Co and Lend Invest who's growth rate are exceptional even among the peer-to-peer companies. It will be a while before any of these start challenging the top 3, but 2014 is going to be very interesting!
