Frequently asked questions

Q1: What types of equity financing does Mideer support?

Answer: We work across growth capital, cross-border equity financing facilitation, and government funding pathways. Our focus is on NZ businesses seeking equity financing and cross-border projects involving China. We specialise in customised risk-controlled equity financing advisory for New Zealand businesses. Our service is a non-regulated advisory, and we do not cover debt financing such as bank loans, microcredit or bond issuance, nor any FMA-licensed financial activities.

Q2: Can MiDeer introduce us to Chinese investors?

Answer: Yes. We leverage our established NZ-China cross-border investment network to connect NZ businesses with qualified Chinese investors. This includes professional due diligence, risk grading, and targeted screening to ensure alignment with your business stage, financing needs, and strategic goals. We facilitate formal initial docking and negotiation support, while maintaining clear non-regulated advisory boundaries to ensure compliance with both NZ and Chinese regulatory requirements.

Q3: Do you charge success fees or take equity?

Answer: No. Our transparent pricing follows New Zealand commercial principles, with a one-stop package price based on project complexity (e.g., equity structure, investor matching difficulty) – no connection to your financing amount, no hidden fees, and no success fees or equity stakes. The package covers all end-to-end advisory services and 3 months of post-completion support, with fixed pricing confirmed before formal engagement.

Q4: How do you help with government funding applications?

Answer: We provide guidance on suitable funding programs (NZ and China where relevant), support application preparation, and coordinate with your advisors. We do not submit applications on your behalf.

We provide tailored support for NZ businesses seeking government funding pathways, including:
1. Assessing eligibility for relevant NZ government grants, innovation funds, and cross-border collaboration schemes;
2. Developing compelling application narratives and business cases aligned with funding body priorities;
3. Preparing required documentation and compliance materials to meet application criteria;
4. Providing strategic guidance on post-award reporting and compliance to maintain funding eligibility.

Q5: What stage of business do you typically work with?

Answer: We work with New Zealand businesses across all growth stages, from early-stage ventures and startups with clear China market relevance and commercial potential, to established SMEs and mid-market enterprises seeking expansion capital or larger cross-border transactions. Key factors for collaboration include equity finance readiness, solid operational foundation, clear financing needs, and a commitment to compliant, sustainable growth.
