Terra Firma drives value creation. Founded by Private Equity pioneer Guy Hands in 1994, Terra Firma has a 30+ year track record of investing in transformational private equity, operational real estate and infrastructure plus. Since establishment, Terra Firma has invested €18 billion in 43 businesses with an aggregate enterprise value of over €52 billion.
Terra Firma means ‘solid ground’. It reflects our consistent and distinctive approach to investment. We buy asset-rich businesses in essential industries that can be transformed through fundamental change in the long term. As such, we invest time, money and expertise into transforming the strategy, operations and finances of the businesses we acquire, recognising that long term success is not achieved purely by focusing on short-term objectives but through dedicated partnership, integrity and tenacity.
Groundfloor is the first and only private real estate lending marketplace open to non-accredited investors. Before Groundfloor, only accredited investors had access to the diverse, risk-adjusted returns & control available through real estate loan investing (also called private credit investing).
Groundfloor opens the door to short-term, high-yield returns backed by real estate. We bring together individual investors looking for short-term lending investments and borrowers looking for short-term financing for their specific real estate projects. Borrowers get access to more flexible, faster and cheaper capital than a traditional bank or a hard-money lender. Investors get access to short-term, high-yield investments offering returns that average over 10%.
Since funding the first Groundfloor loan in 2014, 50,000+ users have built their own portfolios of loans or invested in our flagship product, the Flywheel Portfolio (a great way to get started and comfortable with real estate loan investing).
Groundfloor earned a historic qualification by the SEC in August 2015 to sell private real estate debt investments to non-accredited investors. The company was founded in 2013 by Brian Dally and Nick Bhargava and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Our fast-growing team is on a mission to benefit individual investors and the investments they fund by reformatting and opening private capital markets to broad public participation.
Groundfloor has won numerous awards for our rapid growth and innovation, including Inc. Magazine's Inc. 5000 List and Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 List.
