Straight answers for owners and investors.
We buy going concerns and keep them operating. Diligence is thorough (not rushed), and the CFO leads the reset of controls, cash, and governance.
Do you close plants or make immediate redundancies?
No. Our approach is continuity-first: we aim to keep trading and retain staff and customer relationships while we stabilise operations.
How fast is the process?
Diligence and restructuring are not fast by design. Typical targets are: 30 days to rebuild reporting visibility, ~90 days to stabilise working capital, and 12–18 months to reach operational breakeven. Timing varies by sector and circumstances.
Will you sign an NDA before we share information?
Yes. We operate NDA-first. We’ll sign an NDA before receiving materials or starting diligence.
Do you buy just the assets?
Our preference is to buy the going concern and keep trading to preserve value, jobs, and customer relationships. Pure asset sales are generally not our focus.
How do you value a business in distress?
We buy on going-concern value, not liquidation value. We consider sector fundamentals, customer stickiness, asset base, and the path to stabilisation under a CFO-led plan.
What deal structures do you consider?
Whole-of-business acquisitions (preferred), selective pre-pack/DOCA pathways, and turnaround + growth-capital partnerships. We prioritise structures that protect continuity and enable rapid control system resets.
What does diligence cover?
Financial (quality of earnings, obligations), operational (throughput, bottlenecks), people (structure, safety), and legal/compliance (licences, contracts, claims). Expect an on-site review and a 13-week cashflow cadence.
How do you report to investors post-completion?
Weekly dashboards (cash, WC, KPIs), monthly board packs with milestone tracking, and quarterly plan refreshes — a governance rhythm designed to reduce uncertainty.
Which sectors do you focus on?
Asset-rich, demand-driven operations: manufacturing; warehousing & distribution; agri-processing & cold chain; and B2B services supporting industry. Primarily Brisbane & South East Queensland (flexible for the right opportunities).
Is the conversation confidential?
Yes. We keep discussions confidential and can move NDA-first before reviewing any materials.
