This type of lending business was spawned from the original lending business financial model I did awhile back. The difference in this kind of business model is that a fixed percentage or 'fee' is charged based on the total amount borrowed. There is no monthly interest or compounding interest. Also, this kind of endeavor is usually funded with leverage that is lower cost than the flat fee being collected from customers and usually the difference is substantial as that is where the margin is made.
