1. Successful applicant gets Zopa-PRIME loan
———————————————
Colin Bicknell, 50, from Northampton has
successfully secured a Zopa-PRIME loan of 7,120 pounds
at an interest rate of 7.88% to help start up
his energy assessment business.
PRIME has teamed up with Zopa Ltd and Bank of
America to create a peer-to-peer loan scheme to
help people aged over 50 to raise the capital to
start a business. The scheme is designed for
people over 50 who are finding it difficult to
raise money directly from a bank. It allows
someone to borrow anything from 1,000 up to
15,000 pounds - as long as they have a strong, viable
business plan.
To find out more about the scheme and to request
an information pack go to:

To see Colin’s listing go to the Zopa website:

2. Become a PRIME case study
——————————
We are looking for people over 50 who have got a
successful business up and running - to be case
studies on our website. We would ask you a few
questions, and put your photograph, biography,
and a link to your business on our website.
If you would like the chance to be a PRIME case
study, please click on the link below and
complete the online application form.
Good candidates will be confident and
charismatic, and we are particularly looking for
businesses of an unusual nature. The form gives
us a good idea of what you do, and what sort of
person you are, but don’t feel the need to write
lengthy replies. This will come later, if you
are selected for interview.
You can read case studies of fellow
Olderpreneurs here:
