Transition Capital exists to help growth enterprises reach their next level of development, and fulfill the expecatations and aspirations of business owners and entrepreneurs.

We combine strategic thinking with business and market analysis to create effective business development programs for rapid growth. Once the business is focussed and in shape, we then help to source the additional resources needed for rapid growth. 

To succed as a high growth enterprise is not easy, there are far more challenges than exist in a more static environment. At the very least you need:

• a unique solution that provides customers with a better solution, either through a new or improved product/service, better functionality, a different business model or approach to the market;
• significant commercial potential - the market potential must be supportive of the basic growth strategy. This implies scaleability, and sustainable profitability from expanded opeartions;
• a strong and committed management team with both the desire and the persistence needed to achieve goals;
• sufficient resources to support the growth plan.

Transition Capital provides 4 key services to manage these issues:

1. Planning and Strategic Thinking- whilst growth requires a certain flexibility and adaptability, without a clear vision and gameplan, the chances of success are considerably diminished. We provide the external "big picture" perspective that often gets lost in the daily battle of business. This also provides a scope for the additional resources wjich will be needed;
2. Positioning - this includes market/business positioning and a business development plan. This is important not only for the business to achieve early (or additional sales) but also to make it attractive to potential supporters. This is also known as "Becoming Investor Ready";
3. Management & Mentoring - with a small number of selected companies we assume a direct management role, for others we act as mentors to owners or take a Board psoition to provide on-going advice and assistance.
4. Capital Raising - programs that are designed to facilitate private investment through an effective and regulatory compliant process designed to ensure that the business is attractive to investors and is presented positively.  It begins with selection of an appropriate strategy (eg equity or non-equity capital, grants, ASSOB, sophisticated investors, strategic partnerships and so on;

Access to private investment funds has always been difficult for unlisted companies, due in part to restrictive provisions of the Corporations Act (for example, making public offers is strictly prohibited). The penalties and consequences of breaching these provisions are severe and they are enforced. Transition Capital is a registered Business Matching & Introduction Service. This allows us certain exemptions from the fund raising provisions of the Act.

Dependent on the business opportunity, we may alternatively offer a Sophisticated Investors only capital raising program.

Where acquisitions offer strategic advantage, we assist in the identification, valuation and negotiations with potential targets. Conversely we help in planning for and executing strategic trade sales when a planned exit point is reached. We are also able to identify and negotiate with strategic partners as potential investors.
