Funding that fits the situation.
Senior secured facilities of $2–30m for profitable businesses across Australia and New Zealand — for acquisitions, buy-outs, growth, refinancing and liquidity events. Where the major banks can't move, we structure and deliver.
What we fund.
We lend for a defined set of purposes — each one a situation where a flexible, senior secured structure is the right tool.
Acquisitions
Senior secured funding to acquire a business or competitor — bolt-ons that consolidate a market, or platform deals that build scale.
Buy-outs (MBO / LBO)
Management buy-outs, leveraged buy-outs and founder exits — debt structured alongside an experienced sponsor or incoming management team.
Growth capital
Funding for expansion, capital expenditure and entry into new markets, for profitable businesses outgrowing what their bank will extend.
Refinancing & recapitalisation
Refinancing existing facilities or recapitalising a balance sheet — replacing rigid bank debt with a structure that fits the business.
Liquidity events
Shareholder liquidity, buy-backs and dividend recapitalisations — releasing value without surrendering control of the business.
