Crowd funding will secure future for SMEs

Dublin accountant Rory Finegan sees peer-to-peer lending as an increasingly vital part of the financing landscape for Irish SMEs.

Amid plans to rebrand and expand his own accountancy firm, Finegan has launched a €30,000 crowd funding campaign on LinkedFinance.com, Ireland’s leading peer-to-peer crowd lending platform.

The move will allow Finegan to experience first-hand a service he plans to recommend to his own SME clients as an alternative to more traditional bank finance options.
