As you know. the UK voted to leave the European Union which presents a new and interesting start for us all.

The campaign for both in or out has been very divisive with a lot of scaremongering on both sides. This appears to be continuing today. 

Whether individually we each preferred to stay or leave, now is the time for us to unite and work together to make Britain stronger and support the foundation of our economy - British businesses.

In terms of investing, different types of investments will probably react differently to the vote.

As a platform that seeks to provide a select few, carefully curated investment opportunities Crowdstacker is celebrating exceeding £7million in funds raised for businesses featured on the platform.  

100 per cent of funds raised on Crowdstacker comes from ‘the crowd’
And the exciting bit is that 100 per cent of this money has come directly from ‘the crowd’. There is no institutional money involved, just simple ‘crowdfunding’ in its most pure form.

The Crowdstacker Innovative Finance ISA will launch on 6th April 2016 

Crowdstacker, has announced the details of its new Innovative Finance ISA (IFISA) that will be available to investors from this date.

The new IFISA is specifically designed for peer to peer investments, and you can invest today and hold your investment in a Crowdstacker IFISA once it launches. 

With bank savings accounts currently only offering paltry savings, with the best offering rates of around 3%, we believe that investing your money in bonds and peer to peer (P2P) loans could be an attractive alternative. Although investments such as bonds and peer to peer lending (P2P) are not covered by the FSCS protection scheme and carry more risk, if you choose P2P or bonds carefully you could achieve returns of around 5-7% a year in interest.
