Abstract

This chapter identifies the main features of European alternative funding agents that issue debt-based securities. These features are highly significant in boosting investors’ participation in the process of funding individuals, start-ups and SMEs. This chapter analyses the most important alternative funding agents in two ways: first, it focuses on European P2P lending platforms and their business models. The analysis investigates the best practices among the platforms, which need to construct a long-term strategic relationship with their clients to ensure their regular participation and to establish their own presence in the P2P lending market. Second, it focuses on mini-bond markets across the largest European countries: UK, Italy, Spain, Germany and France. The results of the analysis are interesting for banks and other financial services providers that could participate in supporting retail operations or offer their advisory services.
