Venture Funding

The First Group is experienced in securing funds from a variety of sources.

Part of First Corporate's service is to assess the project and identify the most likely and most appropriate method of funding.

Examples of potential sources of funding include:

• First Corporate's related listed company (pre-IPO funding);
• Venture Capital funds - we work closely with many of the large funds in Australia;
• Australian Stock Exchange listing;
• Overseas stock exchanges;
• Private investors;
• Institutional investors;
• State and Federal grants; and
• Other semi-government funding sources

In certain cases, funding can also be achieved by way of strategic partnering and/or provision of services at nominal cost or in exchange for an interest in the venture.

Our satellite firms create a gateway to potential investors beyond that which most small and medium enterprises could otherwise access, and the First Corporate investment management philosophy ensures that the service provided goes well beyond dollars and cents.
