Since the global banking crisis, banks have had to adapt to and comply with a raft of regulations which initially led to a reduction in lending to small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) and mid-cap corporates. This lending gap in the market was quickly filled by direct lending firms, Peer-2-Peer lending operators, and crowdfunding platforms offering alternative funding to lenders, helping sustain the global economy.
While the banks have since returned to lending in this space, these alternative lenders have offered quicker access to and cheaper funding, flexibility on tenures, amount size with covenant packages involving a wide range of assets.
