LFH Lease B.V. has successfully executed its inaugural warehouse securitisation of EUR 265m for growth, marking a significant pivot in its funding structure. This is the first warehouse securitisation of its type in the Netherlands, combining bankruptcy remote SPV with VAT lending. The transaction represents an important milestone for LFH, transforming from a company that had never used its own balance sheet before into one with a market-leading securitisation product suite. Dirk Buiting, LFH Director, said, “With this facility we’re able to realize LFH’s ambitions to facilitate the Dutch SME market with a perfect leasing solution.” Sean White, Head of Barclays’ European Securitised Products Solutions, said, “Barclays is pleased to contribute to LFH’s ambition to support the Dutch SME market through this innovative financing solution, which provides a great example of how securitisation enables our clients to efficiently fund their growth strategies.” Greg Branch, SCIO Capital CIO, said “SCIO is excited to have been able to support LFH in this inaugural structured funding facility. We create long-term value for investors and borrowers alike by establishing partnerships and providing collateralised financing”.
