If you are not registered with Prosper, you will be asked to fill out a quick registration form. Registration is free.

Once registered, click the "Become a Group Leader" link. You will be asked to provide your social security number and a few other personal details so that we can check and protect your identity. There is no fee to become a group leader.

Next, you will need to provide some basic information about your group. This will include the group name, a short description, a group "shortcut" (this will be a short web link for potential members to access when you invite them), and categories (see below).

Prosper is basically a community made up of all kinds of groups of borrowers. Potential lenders, borrowers, and future group members will search and find each other through Prosper's classification system of group categories. When you create your group, you will need to categorize it (you may select up to five categories). For example, if you are a group of soccer players, you would categorize your group under "Sports & Recreation / Ball Sports / Soccer."

Once your group information is complete, all of this information will be sent to the Prosper Group Services team, who will review your group application, and make a decision on your group application within a few days.

As a group leader, you can receive group leader rewards as your group members repay their loans on time. You can add your bank account information to Prosper so that we will know where to send your group rewards.

While you're waiting for Group Services to review your new group request, you should view and update your group's home page! In fact, the more information you add about the group you want to create (including the description, pictures, and links), the more speedily Group Services will be able to approve your group.
