Escalator - NZ Specialist Investment Ready Service
The Escalator Service provides NZ’s only complete specialist Investment Ready Service for SME’s. Escalator educates, grooms and sources private investment funds (capital) for High Growth Potential companies.
Preparing for investment can take 2 years, start now. Can you articulate your business proposition in a 3 minute pitch, do you have an effective business model, and can you articulate how you will increase shareholder value over the next 5 years?
Each year we work with 500+ growth potential businesses. Whether you have just started a business and need to plan your funding model for growth or are actively seeking capital investment or a strategic deal we can help you.
We provide:
· Training services – “Guide to raising capital” – “Elevator Pitching” workshops
· Expert evaluation of businesses for investor readiness
· Specialist help to assist with preparing your business for investment
· Access to a national network of private sector advisors and investors
Why:
No matter how strong your business is, raising equity remains a key challenge when you want to grow. Especially for a small or medium sized enterprise, getting investment-ready can be demanding enough.
For many businesses simply getting ready for investment helps them improve their business. At Escalator, we know about these challenges and are committed to helping more than 500 businesses each year succeed.
Since being founded in 2003 we have helped over 90 qualifying New Zealand businesses raise over $90 million – and helped 12 firms sign significant new licensing or strategic partnerships. We have also provided over 200 businesses with deal preparation expertise.
Even for the companies that we do not raise money for benefit from the improved strategic advice, financial modelling, and access to powerful networks and in some cases new executive.
Companies we work with have:
· Potential of sustained revenue growth in excess of 50% per annum, achieving long term revenues of greater than $20M
· Founders with leadership capability and/or acknowledgement that they don’t have it
· Founders who are willing to be coached and access viability of capital investment for their business
· Need for between $100K - $5M capital or a significant strategic partnership or licensing deal
Our focus is on growth, not form filling
