Louis founded Loanpad in 2015, shaping the company and steering it through the stringent FCA authorisation process. He’s a qualified and highly experienced lawyer specialising in real estate finance.

Louis founded HCLS (law firm) in 2009 and iBridge (lending business) in 2013.

Louis decided to create Loanpad as a new model of peer-to-peer lending that’s safer, simpler and more flexible for investors.

Neil joined Loanpad in early 2018, shortly prior to FCA authorisation being granted.

As a Chartered Accountant (FCA), he was a Director at both BDO and Duff & Phelps specialising in Financial Services and worked with a range of firms from startups to multinationals on finance, regulatory compliance, and operations.

At Loanpad, he is responsible for designing and leading the firm’s end-to-end operations including finance, credit underwriting, software development and regulatory compliance.

Marc joined Loanpad in January 2018 having followed its progress during its FCA authorisation process. He began his career in 2000 as an equities trader for Goldenberg Hehmeyer & Co and in 2004 decided to become a private investment manager on behalf of high net worth individuals.

Marc also has a passion for internet startups and over the last ten years has split his time between investment management and helping to develop various companies, directing strategy, marketing, sales and customer experience management. Marc holds an LLB in Law and is Eurex qualified.

Jacob joined Loanpad in 2016 and has assisted the company since its inception.

Jacob started in the property sector in 2001 and subsequently moved into the creative sector for over 15 years running a digital agency in the centre of London. This has given Jacob a unique set of knowledge and skills spanning real estate, marketing, design and corporate communications.

At Loanpad, he acts as a Loan Manager responsible for assessing loans both at the due diligence phase and on an ongoing basis. In addition, he directs and manages the creative design for the website and any communications with our investors.
