Introduction :: Getting Started

Aimvest is a lending group in the person-to-person Prosper loan financing community. As a borrower, joining the Aimvest lending group is a smart way to improve the opportunity to get your Prosper loan funded.

Prosper.com is the world's leading person-to-person lending community. Instead of using your bank, credit cards or other high interest financing, you borrow from real people. People who may be interested in lending you money.

If you are in a hurry to get a loan financed using the Prosper person-to-person lending community is not the way to get it. As you will discover, creating a successful Prosper loan request is a lot of work on your part. Getting your Prosper loan listed and then funded could actually take you up to 30 days or more from when you begin to when you may receive your loan. Even though we will work hard at assisting you in getting funded, there are no guarantees your loan request will be successful.

However, if you want a better deal than your bank, credit card or any pay day loan can provide, then the time it takes to go through the Prosper lending process will be worth your effort.

Tips: Write your listing and account profile description using a note pad or a word processor. It will take a while to write a good listing so do not do it while you are signed into your Prosper account otherwise you will be logged out before you complete it. It is important you use good grammar and make certain your spelling is accurate.
