Virginia Beach's Liberty Tax to be sold for $243 million, will offer consumer loans through LoanMe
The buyer, Canada-based NextPoint Acquisition Corp., was formed in mid-June with the goal of buying businesses in the alternative lending and financial services sector. The sale is expected to close in the second quarter of this year and is dependent on NextPoint also completing the purchase of LoanMe, an online seller of consumer loans based in Anaheim, Calif. that has been criticized for its high-interest predatory loans in the past.
