Innovative Finance Isas have been around since April 2016. There are still plenty of options – you can invest in the usual P2P loans to individuals or businesses and lend money to fund commercial or buy-to-let properties, community energy projects, invoice financing (providing working capital to small businesses), or even providing off-grid solar power in Africa. See below for a comprehensive list of IFIsas available to invest in now.
