    Hmmm very interesting. I'm gonna have a read when I get home tonight and hopefully people who have had experience of this would be able to share their knowledge.

    r.e. white van ads

    Please be aware most companies who sub-contract to white van drivers insist their vans stay completely free of ads.

    Investment in small businesses is generally for the long term. It would likely be several years before you made your money back plus a return, however many companies will also be paying annual dividends up until that point.

    Yes, if the target is not reached then everyone gets their money back.

    I've had a bit of money back already on Funding Circle, which is more established businesses offering loans rather than shares.

    Would be interested to know more about Cube thingey. It seems more newsworthy than just plain advertising to me. Maybe the site owner has a friend who could happen to know some facts?
