Direct Capital Partners can invest between NZ$5m and NZ$20m (or more in conjunction with our investors) in successful New Zealand or Australian companies, which are characterised by:

Where We Can Help: Our Investment Criteria Our approach is very much solution based. We can help in a wide range of business sectors, and especially focus on the following situations:
Succession Buyout
If you are the owner and manager of a successful business, implementing a successful succession plan will be one of the key steps in your career, both in securing your retirement and your legacy. Yet, typically owner managers only do it once in a lifetime and there are a myriad of items to contend with, often over an extended period of time. With its extensive experience of these situations, Direct Capital Partners can help in dealing with the many ownership, management and business issues in a flexible and supportive manner.
Management Buyout
If you are a corporate owner looking to implement strategic change or a manager wanting to buy the business you currently manage, Direct Capital Partners can help.
For corporate owners, a management buyout can ensure an efficient, low risk divestment from the group. For managers, even if your personal cash resources are limited, we can help you take control of the business and of your own future. An MBO can be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity but can involve you and your family in a degree of risk. We can help reduce that risk and ensure that your buy-out is completed quickly and smoothly and is properly financed for long term success.
Expansions
If you have the opportunity to expand your business, Direct Capital Partners can help. You may be considering larger premises, new equipment, new products or new markets. It is important that the short term demands of the expansion programme do not limit or damage the long term success of your business. In particular, Direct Capital has a successful record of supporting businesses with their trans-Tasman growth aspirations. An area of great opportunity, but one that has proven difficult for many businesses.
Acquisitions
If your company is buying another business, Direct Capital Partners can help. An acquisition can be an effective way to strengthen your existing business, break into new markets, gain economies of scale or expand faster than organic growth would allow. Funding may be required not only to buy the business but to restructure and improve its performance. An equity investment from Direct Capital Partners will allow time for the benefits of the acquisition to flow through. It will also protect your existing business from the impact of any unforeseen difficulties with the acquisition.
Pre IPO Placements
If you are planning a stock exchange flotation, Direct Capital Partners can help. Many private companies often take on board an institutional investor like Direct Capital Partners in the lead up to flotation. Our involvement can help your future listing receive an improved reception on the stock exchange. Our structure can also facilitate a compliance listing, making your initial listing a low risk and low cost affair.
