Capabilities

With offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Washington, the Mooroolbark group of companies (M-Group) is a leading "boutique-style" venture capital investor. M-Group provides equity financing, business assistance and corporate advisory services to small and medium-sized Australian and international companies - particularly those with a desire for growth and expansion.

M-Group's aim is to create and enhance value through equity investment and by actively assisting businesses to expand and to successfully address national and global markets. Typical engagements comprise one of more of the following activities :-

Equity financing (lead or consortium)
Mergers & Acquisitions transaction structuring
Business consultancy
Management advice and mentoring
International expansion.
Access to an International pool of talent to strengthen management teams.

M-Group is owned and managed by a small group of Principals who are experienced in all aspects of business, including funding, strategy, management, marketing, operations, finance and corporate legal advice.

The Group is highly selective in its engagements and has a well-proven track record of success in the identification, development and strategic positioning of businesses in a variety of industry sectors.

M-Group is unlike most venture capital firms because it:

-	invests its own funds - it is not a funds manager;
-	is prepared to invest in companies at various stages of development providing "angel" funding through to major venture capital investments in large businesses;
-	provides, where required, "hands on" management assistance to investor companies - reflecting a philosophy that successful companies are created rather than simply selected.

Through the widespread international experience of the Principals, M-Group is able to offer advice and "hands-on" management assistance based on real practical experience, not text-book theory. Our extensive international connections also allow client companies to tap into a wide pool of varied business and operational skills.
