Linked Finance passes €5m milestone and eyes growth

Dublin-based crowdfunding facilitator Linked Finance has hit the €5m milestone in peer-to-peer lending pledges to SMEs.

The money raised to date — the company was only launched in March of last year — has helped businesses across the country in various sectors including retail, manufacturing, education, distribution, professional services, engineering, and agriculture.

The business has the backing of Enterprise Ireland and a wide range of entrereneurs, including Bobby Kerr and senator Feargal Quinn, and allows borrowers to access cash flow from a pool of potential lenders.
