Despite US election result shock waves, delegates descended upon Olympia for the Finance Professionals Show in great numbers today. The FandP stand was busy as visitors were keen to hear about the continuing growth and success of P2P funding for business. Accountants, solicitors, tax consultants, turnaround specialists and business consultants were quick to register interest as the UK FandP Network of introducers and Consultants is set to expand.

Also on the stand, the soon-to-be-launched Blend P2P Business Lending platform was publicly unveiled for the first time. Blend CEO Yann Murciano admitted “This exciting venture has been a long time in the planning, so I can’t hide my excitement as we get closer to our live launch”. Murciano confirmed that everything is on target for the planned Spring 2017 launch.
