CAPITAL RAISING
Zero-cost Growth Capital

Capital Raising

Business growth faces constrained retained income and external funding challenges, exacerbated by the inaccessibility and high costs of bank loans. Most SMEs grapple with the stringent criteria set by mainstream private equity firms, risking ownership and management control when seeking investors. We have the privilege of connecting with a diverse array of investors, including sophisticated investors, HNWIs, corporations, boutique private equity firms, and various institutional investors. Predominantly, we are trusted by 188A visa investors from Asia who are actively seeking equity investment and strategic partnership opportunities.

Zero-cost Growth Capital

We offer zero-cost growth capital, for established local SMEs, from Asian investors looking for equity investment and strategic partnership opportunities.

People we’ve worked with

Having recently dealt with Jack, I can not recommend him and his team enough. He went absolutely above and beyond to assist me when purchasing a business he had listed. He worked so much harder than any other broker I have experienced to achieve a successful outcome for both parties. A true professional who I trusted every step of the way. If you are looking to sell a business then you need to engage Jack’s services. He is truly great at his job.

Shay. – 2023.09

Jack and his team are expert business brokers. They can assist owners looking to sell their business, guiding them through all the steps and also assist buyers who want to acquire a business by doing all the due diligence. Jack has an incredible network of professionals he relies upon, whether it’s for the buyer or seller. We refer our clients to Forward Business whenever we have the opportunity.

Marco. – 2022.10

From the start to the finish, you made the negotiation strategy, tax savings, etc., a smooth and easy process throughout the entire sale… The new owner who bought our business also found you very professional and said he would have no hesitation in using your services again. Would highly recommend you to anyone needing your help in the future.

Alison. – 2022.09

The quick responsiveness throughout the entire deal and the positive attitude was an absolute pleasure to work with… and the professionalism in the marketing, approach, and execution is world-class from Jack and his team… The transaction which was successful in my case went from the first conversation to settlement in 5 weeks which is a credit to Jack’s work ethic.

Shay. – 2019.06

Not only were they professional during the entire transaction, Jack and his team looked out for the buyer in all respects… This level of service is not often seen and was highly appreciated by the buyer and myself, which importantly gave all parties a high degree of confidence in entering into and finalising the transaction.

Ury. – 2019.08

Jack is one of the best business brokers in Sydney. Professionalism is AAA rated. Jack follows the sale process of the business end to end and ensures a high level of communication is maintained between all stakeholders until the settlement is complete.
