At our recent Discovery Day? at Raffles London at The OWO, we welcomed 82 guests across three sessions, giving them a unique opportunity to get closer to Somo, meet the people behind our loans and hear first-hand from our founder and CEO, Louis Alexander, about our results and ambitions for the future.


We promised an open and honest conversation about Somo: how we operate, our loan book, our business performance and the processes behind every lending decision. We also heard directly from you about what we are doing well and how we can make their experience even better.


Whether you joined us on the day or couldn’t make it this time, we’ve put together a short video of highlights so you can catch up on some of the best moments. Take a look below.

Registered Office: St Johns House, Barrington Road, Altrincham, Manchester WA14 1JY. The Somo business is unregulated for both borrowers and investors.

Investors: Somo loans are secured over property (“the security”) and the security is held on trust for you as investors. The loans that you make are not regulated by the FCA . Your loans are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and you may not have any rights with the Financial Ombudsman Service. All your capital and uncredited interest is at risk. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. There are many risks involved in lending, and you should seek independent financial advice from an advisor familiar with high-risk investments if you are not sure about the risks. Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment, and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong. Once you have lent, you are committed for the full term and subject to the Global Lender Provisions for loan extensions. Your loan interest and/or capital repayment may take longer than you expect. A capital loss is recognised after all reasonable avenues of loan recovery have been exhausted. Property values may go up or down. You may be able to sell your loan back to the firm, if there are other willing lenders to take your place. You should not rely on the ability to re-sell the loan and you may have to sell it at a discount if you need liquidity quickly. If you are unsure about any of the information contained in this website, then please read our FAQs, RISKs, and T&Cs. Tax treatment of any of the loans will depend on the individual circumstances of each lender and may be subject to change in the future. You are liable for your own tax and may wish to consult with a tax/legal adviser for specific advice. Terms apply.

Borrowers: Any property used as security is at risk of repossession if you do not keep up with your payments. Somo’s bridging loans are unregulated. If you are unsure about any aspect of the information provided by the company, you should seek advice from an independent financial adviser familiar with bridging loans. Terms apply.
