C4 Australia and New Zealand has expanded with the appointment of Adam Green as MD for C4 Australia, whilst I retain an overall role for both New Zealand and Australia.
Funding sources through C4 and other avenues are now becoming available in New Zealand from the around the world (US, India, Malaysia, Panama, Sth Africa) with a variety of options available. Some have no limits on amounts borrowed, whilst others deal in traunces over US$25M, some require an equity ownership, some require upfront (refundable) fees, 80-100% lending and very competative interest rates.
Although the economy is slowing and there is plenty of talk of recession and the like – there is still money available for viable projects – with perhaps a little tougher due diligence.
We are entering exciting times as we negotiate a changing market.
