IMI Trust Expand To Include Capital Raising For SMEs

IMI Trust, will assist companies in raising up to $5m in capital to fund the growth and expansion of their organisation. This new division will focus on equity capital raising and will underpin their current web and marketing offerings.

Gold Coast, AUSTRALIA (PRWEB) May 11, 2007 -- IMI Trust - www.imitrust.com - a leader at supplying essential business solutions to Financial Groups and Technology Companies, announces today that it has expanded its service offerings to include facilitating equity capital raising for SMEs in Australia.

The Gold Coast based company has identified this service as critical for business owners looking to accelerate their business. "Most Australian businesses are traditional, in the sense that they look to fund business growth, through their own cashflow, rather than exploring opportunities for external funding. This makes the acceleration of growth very difficult," says Steve Torso, Managing Director heading up the Capital Raising division of IMI Trust. "This places downward pressure on company resources, slowing the organic growth and prevents companies from capitalising on emerging market opportunities."

This places downward pressure on company resources, slowing the organic growth and prevents companies from capitalising on emerging market opportunities.

This division of IMI Trust will underpin its existing web, marketing and systems base to further provide a holistic service for entrepreneurial business owners. A typical company that fits this model would be a start-up enterprise or a small-to-medium sized entity looking for expansion capital. "Equity capital raising offerings will typically be between $250,000 & $5m," continued Torso. "We are benchmarking approximately $20m of raisings as a starting point for this service, due to the strong interest from companies we are already in discussions with."

The intellectual property behind the equity capital raising has been provided to IMI Trust by the Australian Small Scale Offerings Board (ASSOB). ASSOB has been developing its proprietary capital raising process for over 20 years in Australia, and is a market leader in this field. "We created an alignment with ASSOB as their capital raising process is both investor friendly and business owner friendly," said Torso.
