Following approval from the Lithuanian Competition Council, Tesonet has completed a €5 million investment in the Finbee group (UAB Holbee). The investment is intended to strengthen the group’s capital base and expand financing volumes for consumers and small businesses in Lithuania and international markets.

The transaction represents a significant vote of confidence in Finbee’s long-term strategy and growth trajectory. The partnership is expected to accelerate the company’s expansion into new markets, enhance customer experience solutions for both borrowers and investors, and support broader marketing initiatives.

“We view Tesonet’s investment as both a meaningful endorsement and an important catalyst for our next stage of growth,” said Darius Noreika, CEO of Finbee, a peer-to-peer lending and crowdfunding platform. “This partnership provides greater capacity to scale internationally, invest in service and technology improvements for our clients, and expand access to financing for individuals and small businesses. We also plan to increase the share of institutional capital within our funding structure.”

Noreika emphasized that Tesonet will serve not only as a financial investor but also as a strategic partner, contributing expertise in technology development and scaling high-growth organizations.

“We strongly believe in the Finbee team, their experience, and their drive,” said Eglė Eidimtaitė, Head of Investments at Tesonet. “Through years of consistent performance, Finbee has established itself as a successful growth-stage company delivering solid annual results while building meaningful synergies with the small business sector. Companies at this stage are a core focus of our investment strategy. We also highly value that Finbee is a Lithuanian-capital company and see significant opportunity to support its international expansion.”

Prior to the transaction, UAB Holbee was owned 85.01% by UAB ZSC Techteam and 14.99% by UAB Turtai. Following the issuance of new shares acquired by Tesonet, Tesonet now holds an 18.52% stake in the company. Existing shareholders will retain 69.26% and 12.22% ownership, respectively.
