Venture & Development Capital
Dampier Finance Group has the scope to invest in individual initiatives where the creative entrepreneur is looking for commercial expertise and financial support from an investor that shares their vision, understands the risks and provides sufficient financial support to ensure balanced growth.
Dampier Finance Group can arrange financial facilities for new businesses, business restructurings or new product manufacture.
Our structured finance services, intellectual property investment and venture capital facilities are flexible and scalable to drive success for the innovator and investors.
Dampier Finance Group related investments include a multinational biotech group and Australasian medical equipment investments.

Co-investment Strategies
From private equity to syndicated real estate, Dampier Finance Group may take a partner position in an asset alongside a single investor or a syndicate of investors. This provides an opportunity to raise new term capital where traditional funding sources are difficult to access. At the end of a predetermined period the investment can be sold down or, alternatively, the original investors may choose to reinvest and retire non-participating investors.
For example, our joint venture, partnership and trust facilities can be structured to suit almost any property asset, can be redeemed at a future time and have flexible debt syndication options. They provide the opportunity to own either fractional or joint interests in substantial property assets and thus participate in capital growth and rental income. Other benefits of our co-investment structures include tax efficiency, access to depreciation shield, and negative gearing.
Dampier Finance Group related investments include European water and sewerage infrastructure assets, Australasian property assets and South American mining assets.

Intellectual Property Finance
Dampier Finance Group aims to enhance your existing expertise with financial and advisory offerings that maximize the value of your intellectual property and business model, and can often provide support when an impasse has been reached with traditional funding institutions.
Dampier Finance Group understands the cash burn to cash flow cycle and the limitations of the venture capital industry: we design transactions which are significantly more flexible.
When a technology or product meets our investment criteria, Dampier Finance Group provides investment options for the organisation or individual who owns the intellectual property, licence, brand name, masthead, registered design or ‘know how’. The degree of investment is flexible depending on how the agreement is structured and can vary from a minor interest to full ownership.
In addition to financial and investment solutions, Dampier Finance Group can provide commercial expertise. As with investment, input can vary from minor advisory services to complete business management.
