I don't feel the need to shout about how much they make or what they are in public. If you want to discuss them (seriously), feel free to do so by PM.

    I don't doubt your ability to get something like that off the ground, as you obviously have a track record of doing it (unlike prawndick), so I suppose at least you would know how to, for example, apply for a Consumer Credit Licence.

    No. But if I did then I'd find snakes at best - little cowardly poisonous snakes

    Obviously not meaning here nice ladies of CUK, including fembots...

    It's about the P2P engine. Bringing buyer with seller, lender with borrower, company with customer.

    Ebay, USwitch, Zopa. Take a small piece and build a massive business.

    P2P lending is still on the up and is expected to grow massively. How about P2P for property? You have a fixed asset in place. It's all about risk.

    I've got a couple of ideas down but haven't modelled them fully yet.

    I was toying with setting up a Peer to Peer lending service like Zopa.
