Apply for an Initial Assessment

Escalator Initial Assessment:

The objective of this initial application is to allow the Escalator Client Services team to assess the potential for your business or concept to attract equity investment or a non-equity deal (strategic partnership, licensing or joint venture) via the Escalator Service.

Please note, we are happy to receive your completed application form and discuss this with you. However, we will not accept applicants for the next stage of Escalator (a Needs Assessment with one of our brokers) until we have reviewed a supporting strategic document (business plan, feasibility study, project plan) outlining your opportunity in more detail. Please also note that the following industries are not considered for Escalator assistance – property development or finance products and services.

Costs:

Brokerage:

NZTE underwrite the Escalator Services up to and including deal preparation. However deal broking services are not included, and a success fee is payable on completion of the transaction to the broking firm.

Professional Fees:

These costs relate to third party legal and professional fees to complete the deal. These costs are not met by the Escalator Service.

Other:

Participants may choose to contract with the Escalator service providers for other purposes, but NZTE does not cover the costs of that work.
