Alternative lending methods such as peer-to-peer lending and invoice factoring can provide sustainable financing solutions for creative entrepreneurs. These methods can help address the barriers faced by creative industries firms in accessing traditional funding sources. Peer-to-peer lending platforms, as shown in Teichmann et al., can allocate investments in sustainable projects and businesses, contributing to a low-carbon circular economy. Additionally, Chulawate and Kiattisin highlight the potential of peer-to-peer lending in driving financial innovation and sustainability in developing countries. Furthermore, invoice factoring, as suggested by Hossain et al., can enhance the supply of loans to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by reducing default risk and improving their access to finance. These alternative lending methods offer opportunities for creative entrepreneurs to overcome the challenges they face in securing funding and can contribute to the growth and sustainability of the creative industries.
