Raise capital for your enterprise
Structure your capital raise to protect your business and attract the right investors
Three things to settle first
When you work with us, your raise is structured correctly from the outset. The documentation stands up to investor and regulatory scrutiny.
Start with the right structure
Choose the correct legal vehicle for your capital raise before approaching investors, to avoid costly restructuring later.
Attract investors with confidence
Give potential investors the documentation and legal certainty they need to commit capital to your enterprise.
Protect your position
Retain control of your business and preserve your upside while giving investors the returns and protections they expect.
Why getting the structure right matters
Raising capital without the right structure is one of the costliest mistakes a growing business makes. Accepting investor funds without proper documentation can expose founders personally and trigger Corporations Act obligations. The structure you choose now sets the terms for every future investor, every future raise, and ultimately your exit.

Common questions
If yours is not answered here, call us and ask. The short question early is always cheaper than the long letter later.
How quickly can I speak to a lawyer?
Call 1300 654 590 and you will be put straight through to a lawyer rather than a switchboard. Tell us what the problem is and we will tell you how we can help.
How will I be charged?
For advice and documents we provide a fixed or capped quote before the work starts, so you do not carry the price risk. If you are in a dispute, we map out the process and the likely costs so you know what to expect.
Do I need a lawyer for something this small?
Often the cheapest moment to involve us is the one that feels too small to bother. If we do not think we can add real value, we will say so rather than open a file.
Can you work alongside my accountant?
Yes. A great deal of our commercial work is done alongside a client’s accountant or adviser. We are comfortable operating as one part of a wider team.
