So LC's parent company, Finance Direct, is looking to raise capital from LC investors at 6.75% per anum and then Finance Direct will use that money to invest in LC loans at 10-12%. It's a smart business model.

My understanding is that LC ONLY buy up the loans that "Us Investors' do not purchase within the time limit.

This is from speaking directly to Wayne.
