7 Places To Stash Your Cash Outside Of The Banks

No.6: Invest in a business or a farm?

There are many peer to peer lending platforms/websites which encourage investors to place some of their savings into small businesses and receive above average returns on their money for up to 60 months. Even though the underwriters of the peer to peer platforms are very shrewd and experienced and to a certain extent conservative, there are risks in every investment.

Peer to peer lending platforms are a great source of diversified returns but have you ever looked at investing "full on" into a business or even a farm of land? The latter is worth a look, as land, of which no more is being made, has a great way of holding it's value and a farm, particularly in Ireland, may come with some sort of single farm payment or other remuneration which gives it more appeal.

You would have stiff opposition at the auction but worth serious consideration.
