Hi all - does anyone have a list of traditional investors that invest in deals in Australia?


Also, is there a subset that invest in both US & Australia?


Thanks!

I like private debt providers. FC Capital (https://fccapital.com.au/) and Arrow point capital (https://arrowpointcapital.com.au/). For equity, many people have recommended Tractor Ventures to me, however they do not invest in roll-ups/acquisitions. VCs are primarily focused on SaaS in my experience and are very difficult to get in front of (not saying that it is not possible). I think Family Offices are the correct channel to raise equity for acquisitions in Aus. I have found this article to be very useful in engaging family offices: redactedredacted

If you deal with the banks, be prepared to provide Personal Guarantee or in other words be prepared to fill in a Financial Position Statement outlining your assets and liabilities. If you do not have strong assets or better said if you are not asset rich, forget about it. Focus on alternative lenders and private lenders. They are more expensive though, but if the company is good, it pays off. Banks take unfair advantage and that should be illegal.
