The London-listed firm said the development would significantly expand the company's pipeline of opportunities in California, and provide a competitive edge over non-licensed lenders.
It noted that California, recognised as one of the largest and fastest-growing markets for infrastructure finance in the United States, would rank as the world's fifth largest economy if it were a country.
SEQI said it was aiming to target sectors within California including energy transition, digitalisation, and transport infrastructure, leveraging the new licence to capitalise on such high-growth areas.
