Raising Finance


Companies raise venture capital for a wide range of reasons. On our website we explore capital raising options and provide options on how and where to start. Knowing how to raise capital is complicated and there are criminal penalties for not getting it right.  If you are interested in the raising of capital, equity finance or debt for a particular matter or have any queries please get in touch.

From Mark's desk

The talk in the capital markets has been around the increase in inflation (7.0% annual change March quarter 23), the increase in the cash rate (4.10%) and whether the economy will go into recession and now there is discussion around “spiralling wage increases” given the increase in the minimum wage and award wages (Financial Review 9th June).  


This has led to general investor confidence from both a company and consumer point-of-view to be subdued.  This uncertainty while unwelcome, creates a range of opportunities for companies and investors alike. 


Asset values have seen volatility and this provides opportunities for investors eg. tech valuations have generally decreased; and rising interest rates are providing better yields for investors.  On the company side we are seeing re-finance opportunities, acquisitions and opportunities for investors where companies are needing capital and asset values have fallen.  


If you are looking for finance or seeking to invest please feel free to contact us.
