Our impact

A FOLK2FOLK loan can impact more than just the borrower. It has the power to strengthen local supply chains, create jobs, boost regional economies, and help investors achieve their goals. It has the power to be life-changing.

Home ● About ● Our impact

Our impact

It’s not just about money.

It’s what people do with it that counts.

We’ve seen first-hand how one loan can kickstart a powerful chain reaction: jobs created, supply chains supported, dreams realised all while investors earn monthly income from secured lending. We call this ripple effect FOLKONOMICS™.

What is FOLKONOMICS™?

Money in motion

FOLKONOMICS™ is our term for the ripple effect our loans can create, benefiting not only borrowers and investors, but also the communities in which they live and work.

It starts with a loan and spreads outwards.  This is money in motion, circulating through the real economy and making things happen.

  • Enabling businesses to start, grow or diversify

  • Creating or sustaining jobs

  • Boosting local supply chains

  • Generating income for investors

  • Benefitting local & regional economies

  • Kickstarting even larger and longer-term impact

Impact on Borrowers

Making the business you want possible

By taking an holistic view of the borrower, the loan purpose and the security property, we help people realise their business ambitions often when traditional sources of finance have said no.

FOLKONOMICS™ in action

  • Thousands of loans funded since 2013.
  • Supporting businesses across diverse sectors
  • Enabling businesses to start, grow, or diversify.
  • Jobs secured and new opportunities created.

Impact on Investors

Making the life you want possible

The returns our investors earn are more than just financial; they’re personal.

It’s the freedom it enables, and many tell us they value knowing their money is doing good while doing well by supporting real people, not faceless institutions.

“It gave me the financial freedom to focus on what matters most.”

FOLKONOMICS™ in action

  • Regular income to support financial goals.
  • Freedom to focus on what matters most.
  • Confidence your money supports real businesses and people.
  • Pride in backing British SMEs and contributing to a stronger UK economy.

Impact on Regional UK

Fuelling regional prosperity

Regional and rural areas often miss out on the investment and attention given to major cities. That imbalance limits opportunity and growth.

We help change that by connecting investors directly with businesses across regional UK, enabling money to flow where it’s needed. And when regional businesses thrive, so do the communities around them.

 

FOLKONOMICS™ in action

  • Jobs created and sustained.
  • Local supply chains boosted.
  • Talent retained in rural areas.
  • Wider community benefits realised.
