🚨News Flash🚨 Keep reading below…… 👎 💡Who thought that the lending industry could be so exciting? Always love finding new things and insights into a ever growing industry. 🚀Marketplace lending is a hot topic in the UK financial industry. Are they a temporary phenomenon or a disruptive threat to banks' core lending and deposit-gathering business? The latest analysis presents a different opinion. While Marketplace Lenders (MPLs) may not have the competitive advantage to threaten the traditional banking model, they will continue to be a presence in the ever-evolving banking landscape. 🚀MPLs are online platforms that enable investors to lend to retail and commercial borrowers, without taking any risk onto their balance sheets. They make money from fees and commissions received from borrowers and lenders, not from deposits or lending themselves. 🧠 Rather than seeing them as competitors, banks should explore opportunities to enhance their overall customer propositions through collaboration with MPLs. Supporting the development of an innovative MPL sector would bring significant consumer benefits. 📰What do you think about the rise of MPLs? Do you see them as temporary or a continued presence? Share your thoughts in the comments below. #MarketplaceLending #BankingIndustry #UKMarket #FinancialServices #Innovation #evolving #landscape #mpls #lenders #consumer #behaviours.

PayPal’s 2024 Business of Change report1 reveals nearly half (47 per cent) of UK small businesses plan on scaling in the next one to two years, yet 43 per cent worry technical expertise gap could hinder growth. *****Try our quiz to see how tech savvy is your business**** https://lnkd.in/eK65cJAG Surveying 500 small business owners across the UK, the study uncovers that although more than half (62 per cent) agree online sales are key to expanding their business, 51 per cent say that setting up their business has been harder than they thought. Barriers to growth The report explores key barriers that Britain’s small businesses surveyed called out including: The challenging economic landscape (38 per cent) Consumers purchasing less (37 per cent) Competition in the industry (35 per cent) It isn’t just external factors that business owners feel will limit their ability to expand – they feel a lack of business confidence and skills will hold them back. In fact, 28 per cent of business owners say they lack confidence with online and social media marketing, and 28 per cent say they struggle with making their website safe and secure for shoppers. Further, 17 per cent say they aren’t sure which payment methods to offer, such as installment payment options like buy now, pay later or digital wallets that consumers prefer to pay with.

Industry calls to delay fraud refund plan have been rejected.. what does this mean for the sector? Well in what is already a very crowded market, the upcoming changes to reimbursement could threaten the survival of smaller fintechs, having a knock-on effect to the growth of the wider industry. With PSPs focusing heaving on how they can quickly improve the the robustness of their current systems and controls (to avoid being driven out the market from claims as high as £415k) we will likely see an industry shift in viewing compliance systems as a cost centre, to an enabler of growth.

‼️Employer National Insurance Contributions Set to Rise‼️ The employer National Insurance rate will increase from 13.8% to 15%, and the threshold for payments will drop from £9,100 to £5,000. This change poses significant financial challenges for UK businesses, particularly SMEs. Potential impacts include: - Hiring freezes - Reduced employee benefits and pensions - Lower wages and starting salaries - Potential redundancies How Pareto can help: By leveraging Pareto’s government-funded hiring options, businesses can avoid National Insurance fees for anyone hired under 25. We can continue to find you top talent, while alleviating the burden of increased contributions. Drop me a line if you'd like to discuss further 😊
