RE: Populpous. Crowd-funding invoices... 4-5% profit?
According to their press release,
http://populous.co/blockchain_startup_aims_to_tackle_3_billion_pound_invoice_factoring_market.html
Or, maybe they are just trying to corner the GBP market at first. :)
Here is a bit of information I have found regarding the factoring market.

I'm not sure how accurate the figure is from Populous but the number as quoted in "Factoring and Invoice Discounting
A Creative Business Finance Guide by Mark Blayney" for 2006 is GBP13Billion for SME. You can find this book on the internet.
The number from Populous could be the number for SME without access to the invoice factoring market.
Either way, populous might be huge!
Thanks a lot for this link... I agree, the market is plenty big enough. I am excited to watch how it all runs. Seems like they could set up a slightly similar platform to lendingclub. (If you are familiar with them).
Heard of lendingclub but not done much research on them as they do not allow non-US citizen to participate. I am more familiar with Populous and their target market after doing a lot of research on them.
As I am aware the UK is a $425Billon invoice market and not sure what percentage of that is SME which Populous is targeting first. They will then go global, so the potential is there for the PPT price to go up significantly.
