WHY GROWTH CAPITAL CAN MAKE ALL
THE DIFFERENCE

New Zealand has a wealth of successful, privately owned businesses. But many owners still get caught up in the day to day operations and forget about the bigger picture – such as enhancing growth options, acquiring a competitor, expanding to Australia, or thinking about their plans beyond business. This is where Direct Capital can help.

Direct Capital invests in the New Zealand and Australian mid-market private company sector in expansion, succession and pre-IPO situations. We typically invest between $20m - $80m of equity into companies and are comfortable with both minority and majority shareholdings.
