Fiduciam is a London-headquartered, institutionally funded non-bank lender that provides short-term, asset-backed credit facilities to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the United Kingdom and continental Europe.[1] A 2025 Reuters Breakingviews analysis cited Fiduciam as an example of cross-border private-credit lenders that have grown rapidly in Europe.[2]
History
The company was founded in 2014 by former investment banker Johan Groothaert and lawyer Henrik Takkenberg. In its first public deal Fiduciam earmarked up to £200 million a year to purchase invoices via the peer-to-peer platform MarketInvoice (now MarketFinance).[1]
TVR financing
Between 2016 and 2017 Fiduciam arranged a £3 million facility that enabled British sports-car maker TVR to progress its Griffith model and refurbish a factory site in Ebbw Vale, Wales.[3] BBC News reported in August 2020 that TVR had secured a further £2 million loan from Fiduciam, backed by the Welsh Government, to support the factory plan.[4]
Pandemic response
During the COVID-19 pandemic Fiduciam was accredited by the British Business Bank for the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) in July 2020 and subsequently for the Recovery Loan Scheme.[5]
Operations
Fiduciam is funded by pension funds and other institutional investors rather than retail deposits.[1] Loans are typically six to 24 months in duration, secured on real estate, and range from roughly £250 000 to £25 million.
