One of the ways that direct lending has evolved is P2P or 'Peer-to-Peer' lending. In the US and the UK there are website communities such as prosper.com which allow people to directly lend to each other by taking a small position or piece of an overall loan.
These sites, and copycats, have been barred from operating in Canada by banking and securities regulators.
