Albert Gottheimer/Baron Grant in association with Maurice, his brother.

Moreover, Albert Gottheimer (subsequently Baron Albert Grant) used the post-1856 permissive company law to enhance his notorious, two-decade career as a financier and promoter, beginning with establishing his own corporate discount house in 1860.15

. . . As this suggests, some reflected the new banking of the mid-Victorian period generated by the demands of the growing middle classes and, thereby, had little in common with their predecessors in the West End and the City. Others were very personal creatures, such as Grants (1872–94), the last business vehicle of Albert Gottheimer/Baron Grant in association with Maurice, his brother. Like the Guaranteed Cheque Bank (1880–4), a number had very brief business lives, including Cates & Son (1875–8), A.S. Cochrane (1875– 8) and A. Masters & Co. (1880–2).

. . . The example is the Crédit Foncier and Mobilier of England, the mid-1860’s vehicle of Albert Gottheimer/Grant. It first appeared in January 1864 as the Crédit Foncier with a largely Irish directorate, promoted by the Mercantile Credit Association, whose manager, Henry John Barker, had been associated with Gottheimer in the Mercantile Discount of 1859–61. Very quickly, the Crédit Foncier and the Mercantile Credit gave birth to the Crédit Mobilier, a clone of the Foncier through having the same board and manager, who now styled himself as Grant. The identical twins had merged by the close of the year and the resulting institution claimed over the opening months of 1866 to have a relationship with the Paris Crédit Mobilier which assisted neither.73 Source
