Since 2008, when the founders of Airbnb put their heads together and realized that money could be made from people’s unused spare rooms, we have seen the sharing economy grow exponentially. Nowadays, multiple apps exist to help you make the most of the underused resources around you. Like Airbnb, companies like Vrumi and JustPark deal with space as a commodity, allowing you to rent a desk or a car parking spot respectively, but in 2016 a company was launched that took the sharing mentality to a new level. Fat Lama is an online peer-to-peer lending platform, which allows people to list anything items they like – from drills to drones – for rental to people in the local area (fully insured).
