Services New Zealand

AVCC offers both funding and consulting services for Kiwi firms and kiwi investors.  Perhaps our most profoundly beneficial service to new kiwi ventures is matching them to American funding sources.  The United States is a huge capital market constantly seeking promising new ventures in which to invest.  New Zealand holds a tremendous amount of talent and entrepreneurial vigor for such a small nation.  AVCC can help to source serious American funding for your exciting new venture.  If debt financing is best for you, we also have excellent New Zealand sources of lending for your venture.  Funding a new or rapidly expanding young business involves important decisions regarding what type of funding is best, and then the all important step of accessing that funding. 

FUNDING SERVICES
To access new funding for your venture, AVCC engages in three main types of financing.  The three types of financing for new and young but rapidly growing businesses are venture capital, equity investment, and debt financing. 

Venture Capital
Venture capital, also known as private equity, is a form of substantial equity investment by others into your young business.  It involves investors taking a very high risk and large stake in your dream. Because they are getting in on the ground floor, they are taking a huge risk.  For this risk, they usually demand a large ownership stake (an equity position) plus some degree of control over the venture.  So you give up a significant portion of the ownership and control of your "dream" in exchange for the investors bringing a large percentage of the capitalization and a goodly dollop of their business acumen and time to the venture. It can be the right solution for new, growing companies, or companies with a great idea that needs to be developed. We connect you with venture capital sources that are aggressive and eager to find "the next big thing" in your industry.  If you have "the next big thing" and are willing to part with some ownership and control in exchange for the possibility of a far greater likelihood of success, venture capital is the way to go.

Debt Financing
Exchanging a note of debt for development or expansion funds can be perfect for those companies with strong balance sheets and a desire to keep existing ownership stakes intact. AVCC can arrange capital that can be used for any purpose, on terms that are very favorable to your business. Refinance existing debt to free up capital, leverage your existing assets to provide funding for an acquisition or customer growth - if you have a sound business, we will help make it even better.

Equity Investments
When existing ownership allotments are not as important, equity investments can be perfect for your business. AVCC will arrange financing that will provide capital for your business, for any purpose. We have access to capital that will help you complete that acquisition, finalize your marketing plan, build up your infrastructure to prepare for growth, etc. And best of all, our capital sources typically do not require a say in the day-to-day operations of your company. It's your company and we want you to run it. Our capital will simply help make your success more likely, and more intense.

CONSULTING SERVICES

AVCC offers consulting and matching services for individuals and companies seeking capital.

Investors are encouraged to communicate with those seeking venture capital via AVCC as their intermediary.  We can screen potential investment opportunities, and act as a conduit for productive, directed communications between the potential investor and VC seeker.  Investors can describe to us their specific investment criteria.  We provide screening, evaluating, and searching services for investors looking for investment opportunities.  One use of our services is for existing companies to use partnership, investment or acquisition of new ventures as part of their expansion or R&D strategy.  We can help these companies search and identify potential companies or organizations with synergic technologies.  By using AVCC's investor services, those seeking venture capital, especially those who do not wish to disclose their business ideas to the public, can learn of possible funding from sources such as the investors with whom we work.  We will match the investment proposals submitted to us according to the specific selection criteria of the requesting investors and only forward the investment proposals that have met the section criteria to the requesting investors.
