Amicus Finance plc

Founded in 2009, Amicus Finance plc positioned itself as a specialist financial services group serving the UK market. The company focused on niche lending areas that were often underserved by mainstream banks, including short-term property finance (bridging loans), property development loans, and asset-backed finance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Despite a period of growth, the company faced significant funding challenges and regulatory pressures, which ultimately led to it ceasing all new lending and entering into administration in December 2018.
