What are Crowd Bonds?

Crowd Bonds are a type of loan. They allow investors to lend money to UK companies and in return, they offer the investor a regular return of capital and interest which can help in your financial planning. And, because you can put them in the IF-ISA “wrapper”, you can also look forward to tax free* growth. Crowd Bonds can yield up to 7% interest per annum on your initial investment. 

As standard, all our Crowd Bonds offer security, underwritten by company assets, which can be used as compensation if there is non-repayment.
