The facility provides long‑term, flexible debt financing to ennoo Rental to expand its full‑service fleet rental solutions for small and medium-sized fleet operators that supply vehicles and drivers to leading ride‑hailing platforms across Germany. Within the SafeDriver Group, ennoo Rental plays a central role in aggregating and managing ride‑hailing fleets, offering bundled services ranging from vehicle procurement and renting to maintenance and driver management. The Lendable facility strengthens this platform, allowing ennoo Rental to grow its portfolio of vehicles serving ride‑hailing operators and to standardise service quality across its network.

The complex corporate transaction was implemented on a cross‑border basis, involving elements of UK, German and Luxembourg law. The structure accommodates Lendable’s international investor base while aligning with the requirements applicable to the German operating business and the Luxembourg platform entities. Olaniwun Ajayi (UK) LLP acted as Lendable’s English and transaction counsel and led on the transaction. Luther’s German team advised on the financing, corporate and commercial aspects of the transaction, including the German law aspects of the cross-border financing structure, security package and the operating arrangements. Luxembourg law was advised by Luther Luxembourg.

On the banking & finance side, Luther’s finance law experts Volkan Top and Christoph Schauenburg advised on the structuring and implementation of the corporate financing under German law, including regulatory considerations relevant to the provision of cross‑border debt capital into the German market. Corporate and commercial issues were led by Alexander F. Liebing. 

Suresh Samuel, Managing Director and Head of Fintech Investments at Lendable, emphasises: “Completing Lendable’s first transaction in Germany was a significant milestone for our platform and required navigating a complex cross-border legal and structuring process in a new jurisdiction.
