An interesting group that I stumbled upon.
Initially I was considering investing in their VCTs (similar tax benefits to EIS) but the fairly chunky fees put me off.
They also offer P2P lending backed by property (Octopus Choice). Platform is easy to use and expected return is over 4%. They also put their own money into every loan (~5%) and are last to receive their cash back. I have been quite impressed by the product and they offer it in an IFISA wrapper.
Given the good experience I recently switched energy supplier to Octopus Energy. 100% renewable energy , NO exit fees, and pricing seems to be generally cheaper than the big players.
All up I have been fairly impressed. Anyone else had any experiences? good or bad?
As always, do your own research, but if you are interested here are my referral links.
