As social activists and researchers Te Whangai in conjunction with Datacom are developing a quadruple bottom line sustainability measure – the SEEC Data Cube. Designed so all businesses and organisations can improve their regenerative effectiveness and to allow community, clients and stakeholders to assess business collective social, environmental, economic and cultural (SEEC) impact on Aotearoa, and the world. By capturing this data, the SEEC Data Cube becomes an open resource valuation methodology facilitating business SEEC improvement. Te Whangai pushes concepts and mixes ideas until it finds the solution to achieving the objectives of its people. Over 672 graduates have successfully moved through our native plant nursery based programs since 2007. The fact Te Whangai does not conform to the existing paradigm by following the old colonial model, or even the U.S model, is what makes it an indigenous New Zealand ecopreneurial and community initiated enterprise. This uniqueness is something the participants at all levels of the Trust are extremely proud of. From the starters to the staff, managers, graduates, trustees and directors. Highly skilled. Fully independent. Well connected. Person centred. The Te Whangai team are seasoned industry veterans and experts when navigating and negotiating the Justice, Health and Corrections systems. Yet our focus is in recovery pathways for our people. People who are in transition. I believe that finance design plays a key role in solving funding problems for community enterprises, NGO's and charitable trusts.

Managing Partner

Jan 2016 - Jun 2018
Property Finance Partners was created for Property Developers. With decades of traditional development and construction funding experience what makes us unique is our focus on structured finance solutions deploying combinations of bank debt, mezzanine finance and preferential equity funding which lead to the best financial results for clients. This is because we believe finance design plays a key role in solving funding problems for developers. Think Start-Up Company (SPV) Meets Leveraged Buy Out (Structured Finance Solution). Our client base are experienced and emerging developers seeking strategy, advice and results when it comes to obtaining bank and/or non-bank structured finance options, as well as cash input to their SPV's by way of preferential equity from our underwriters and investors. What we do is structure, arrange and settle transactions to the developers exact requirements. We get deals done and focus on the 3 fundamentals being: A proven Financing Strategy A professional Development Feasibility Report A persuasive Project Funding Proposal So that our clients deals are always bankable we provide market leading feasibility reporting with EstateMaster DF software as part of our service which is a bank preferred tool that their panel Valuers use. It is important to begin with the end in mind (bankable deals) in property development. If you have any questions or want specific info contact Ferg for a confidential and obligation free discussion. Performance and Integrity. Property Finance Partners was born to be different.

Oct 2015 - May 2018
FulQrum is NZ's first crowd-funder for property developers and is creating an exciting new source of capital for the property development industry. FulQrum is a crowdfunding platform specifically designed to serve the real estate market and in turn help solve Auckland's housing shortage and New Zealand's housing unaffordability. We specialise in helping small-medium size investors get involved with property development investing by removing the traditional barriers to entry. We provide funding facilities up to $2,000,000 while providing an avenue for developers to get expertise and finance in one place. In my role I provide advisory services to fulQrum's clients so they make fully informed decisions when it comes to structuring their development and construction finance facilities. Read my explainer below on "How to calculate the Value of Preferential Equity Funding to your Property Development" and you will understand why experienced property developers prefer to use 'other peoples' money to increase Return on Equity and preserve capital to build a stable pipeline.
