Wellesley Group Ltd

Founded in 2013, Wellesley positioned itself as a peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platform connecting retail investors with borrowers, primarily in the UK property development sector. The company's mission was to offer investors potentially higher rates of return by lending directly to property-backed projects, thereby bypassing traditional banking institutions. However, the firm faced significant financial difficulties, and its main regulated entities entered administration in June 2020, leading to a wind-down of the business and its loan book.
