Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and how we can help your business.
What types of businesses do you work with?
We work with a wide range of established and growing businesses across various sectors. Our primary focus is on businesses seeking funding solutions, investment opportunities, or financial advisory services. Whether you're an established company looking to expand, a startup seeking initial funding, or a business facing challenges that require restructuring, we tailor our services to meet your specific needs.
How long does the funding process typically take?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the funding requirements and the type of financing sought. Some urgent financing solutions can be delivered within 24 hours, while more complex structures may take several weeks or months. Factors that influence timing include the amount of funding required, the complexity of the transaction structure, due diligence requirements, and regulatory approvals needed.
What information do I need to provide for an initial meeting?
For an initial meeting, we recommend preparing a brief overview of your business, your funding requirements, and any relevant financial information. This helps us understand your needs and determine how we can best assist you. Typical information includes business plans, financial statements, details of the funding purpose, and any specific timeline requirements you may have.
What types of funding do you arrange?
We arrange a comprehensive range of funding solutions including primary secured lending, secondary and subordinated finance, mezzanine funding, bridge funding, and development finance. We work with traditional financial institutions as well as alternative lenders, family offices, and individual financiers to find the most suitable funding structure for your specific situation.
Do you work with international clients?
While we are based in New Zealand and have a significant focus on domestic funding solutions and investment opportunities, our international contacts reach across the Pacific and beyond. We work on opportunities that have a global reach, with some originating or being based outside of New Zealand, such as in Australia.
What are your fees?
Our fee structure varies depending on the type and complexity of the service provided. We typically work on a success-based fee arrangement for funding transactions, meaning our fees are aligned with successful outcomes. For advisory services, we may charge fixed fees or hourly rates depending on the scope of work. We discuss all fee arrangements transparently during our initial consultation.
Are you regulated?
Yes, FAR Corporate Services operates under New Zealand financial services regulations. We maintain all necessary licenses and comply with relevant regulatory requirements. Our services are provided to wholesale, professional, and eligible investors as defined under New Zealand law, ensuring we operate within the appropriate regulatory framework.
