Revolutionizing P2P Lending

May 2014
9089 Clairemont Mesa Blvd Suite 110 San Diego, CA 92104 (888) 958-7477

The P2P Revolution


Peer to Peer lending is growing RAPIDLY and is said to be the latest innovation shaking up the financial industry.

First Look Approval is the First Company to introduce the merchant channel into the P2P lending industry as a means for Generating Loan Volume.
People think of P2P lending as an internet phenomenon, but its not. Its a banking phenomenon. - Brendan Ross, Direct Lending Investments

The Problem
There has been an explosion of Peer to Peer lending platforms but without an edge to access new borrowers, these companies will have difficulty acquiring a supply of attractive notes for peer investors.

Current P2P business models rely heavily on marketing direct to consumers in order to generate loan volume for their network of investors.

Our Solution
First Look Approval has designed a DISRUPTIVE borrower acquisition model that provides AN EDGE for acquiring borrowers. First Look Approval will be the first company to offer a customizable online software solution built to funnel pre-qualified borrowers to P2P lenders through the Merchant Channel.
In Current P2P Models, Lenders Focus on Obtaining a Network of Individual Borrowers. Most will only take out ONE loan for P2P Investors to fund. First Look Approval Focuses on Obtaining a Network of Merchant Accounts. Each Merchant Account brings a steady stream of borrower loans for P2P Investors to fund. Attract Merchant Account

Just ONE Merchant Account Generates Multiple Loans for Investor Network

Benefits of the Merchant Channel


Merchants utilize consumer finance programs to extend loans to their customers. Going through this merchant channel allows for many key Competitive Advantages as opposed to marketing to borrowers directly. Unique Feature of Merchant Channel
Merchant Accounts Continually Supply a Steady Stream of New Borrower Applications. Opportunity To Charge A Discount Rate To The Merchant.
Interest Rates Are NOT The Driving Factor For Loans To Be Selected By Borrowers. Merchants Help Facilitate Loans With Borrowers. Funds For The Borrowers Purchase Are Paid Directly To The Merchant.

Benefit For P2P Lender


P2P Lenders Are Struggling With Direct Borrower Acquisition; Merchants Provide A Unique Source Of New Borrowers. P2P Lenders Can Participate in Collecting Discount Revenue, Increasing Returns For Investors.
P2P Lenders Currently Compete For Borrowers By Offering Attractive Interest Rates. The Merchant Channel Allows The Lender To Charge Higher Interest Rates, Increasing Returns For Investors. The Borrower Is More Likely To Move Forward With The P2P Loan When Merchants Assist With The Application Process. Payment To The Merchant Ensures The Borrower Is Using The Loan For The Reason They Applied, Eliminating The Risk Of Misuse and Fraud.

Our Product
First Look Approval provides merchants with a One-Stop Online Loan Platform that integrates both P2P funds and traditional lenders. By integrating multiple lenders, the merchant is more likely to receive an instant approval for their customer regardless of credit.
