Where We Operate in the Stack
Every property transaction and business investment has a capital stack: the layers of debt and equity that fund it. Capital Connect lends at the senior and mezzanine levels, where security is strongest and risk is most carefully managed.
Senior Debt
CCFirst ranking security
Lowest risk. First call on security in any enforcement scenario. Typically 50–65% LVR.
Mezzanine
CCSecond ranking security
Enhanced yield for accepting subordinated security. Typically 65–75% LVR.
Preferred Equity
Preferred return on equity
Equity with a preferred return and priority over common equity on exit.
Common Equity
Residual ownership
Highest risk and highest potential return. Last in line on any distribution or exit.
Disciplined secured lending
Capital Connect's strategy is built around five core principles that guide every lending decision. Every opportunity is assessed through a structured credit process before capital is deployed.
Conservative Credit Assessment
Every opportunity is subject to rigorous credit analysis before capital is committed.
Asset-Backed Security
Lending is secured against identifiable New Zealand assets including property, receivables and business equipment.
Short Duration Lending
Loan terms of 6 to 18 months maintain liquidity and reduce long-term credit exposure.
Active Loan Management
Ongoing monitoring throughout the loan lifecycle ensures covenant compliance and early risk identification.
Transparent Governance
Formal investment committee oversight, independent legal counsel and quarterly investor reporting.
"Capital deployed into carefully selected opportunities, guided by experienced lending management and disciplined governance."
A structural funding gap
New Zealand's SME sector represents the backbone of the economy. However, traditional banks have significantly reduced lending to small and medium sized businesses.
This has created a structural funding gap for creditworthy businesses seeking flexible capital solutions. Private credit is increasingly filling this gap by providing secured lending solutions backed by disciplined credit underwriting a credible alternative to traditional bank finance.
