Building a Canadian loan marketplace, with Vlad Sherbatov (Smarter Loans)

<p>This whole show is built on the premise that lending money is a tricky endeavour, but, let's face it, borrowing money can sometimes be easier said than done, too: instalment or revolving, secured or unsecured, long-term or short-term, monthly cost versus APR, affordability versus need, etc.</p><br><p><br></p><p>There's a lack of transparency and a lack of knowledge. "And when there is a lack of knowledge, there is a lack of trust, and as long as there is a lack of trust, there's always going to be a hindrance to the advancement of the industry" says <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/vladsherbatov/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vlad Sherbatov</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/smarter-loans/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">President &amp; Co-Founder of Smarter.Loans</a> - helping Canadians discover top loan providers for any credit purpose.</p><br><p><br></p><p>Head on over to https://smarter.loans/ to see what's there, or https://smarter.loans/videos/ for a wealth of lending content. </p><br><p><br></p><p>Or get them ont he socials, they're big on TikTok (at https://www.tiktok.com/@smarter.loans?lang=en), YouTube (at https://www.youtube.com/c/SmarterLoans) and Instagram (at https://www.instagram.com/smarterloans/?hl=en)</p><br><p><br></p><p>We also discuss the Canadian Lenders Association, that's over here: https://www.canadianlenders.org/</p><br><p><br></p><p>You can learn more about me <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendanlegrange/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">on my LinkedIn page</a>, my action-adventure novels are on <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0133U3HGC/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_6VS5451P6XEAX61A9G5J" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amazon, some versions even for free</a>, and my work with ConfirmU and our gamified psychometric scores is at <a href="https://confirmu.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://confirmu.com/</a> and on episode 24 of this very show <a href="https://www.howtolendmoneytostrangers.show/episodes
