Supplementary notes
The source clarifies the methodology as follows: "Invoice trading: when firms sell their invoices at a discount in order to receive funds immediately rather than waiting for invoices to get paid" and "[...] the Cambridge-Nesta research team administered the
2015 UK Alternative Finance Industry Tracking Survey at the beginning of January 2016. This was carried out to collect actual transactional numbers from all four quarters of 2015, directly from alternative finance platforms, rather than projected Q4 figures as in previous studies. With the support from the online alternative finance industry, and generous help of our partners, which included the Peer-to-Peer Finance Association (P2PFA), the UK Crowdfunding Association (UKCFA) and Innovate Finance, the research team was able to successfully survey 94 leading alternative finance platforms in the UK, over the course of two weeks, capturing over 95% of the visible UK online alternative finance market."
