Equity Raising

For Australian Businesses Only

  • Do you have an innovative business idea with great growth potential?
  • Have you undertaken a ‘proof of concept’?
  • Do you need funding to take continue to develop your business?

Small fast growing companies, particularly those in the early stage of development, often require more money than their owners can come up with from their own resources.

Debt is NOT appropriate as explained under What Is The Right Type Of Finance For Your Business?

You could try to find Angel Investors.

You could approach Venture Capital funds. It’s not that easy to get Venture Capital funds to be interested in your exciting young business and their terms can be very onerous.

You could also try to find investors yourself. However, to go it on your own, you must comply with the provisions of s. 708 of the Corporations Act 2001 which limits who can raise monies from and the how much. Do not trip over any of these rules unless you want to have “interesting” discussions with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC).

There is an attractive alternative for equity raising for fast growing innovative Australian companies like yours.
