Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with consultation where we discuss the specifics of your project. This initial meeting is designed to understand your requirements, and the nuts and bolts of the project. It’s an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for you to ask any questions you may have about the financing process.

2. Project Assessment
Our team will then conduct a comprehensive assessment, evaluating the feasibility and potential of your development. This thorough review ensures that we fully understand the risks and rewards associated with your project.

3. Tailored Financing Solutions
We determine the appropriate loan amount, term, and structure based on the assessment. We aim to provide a flexible financing solution that aligns with your project timeline and financial goals.

4. Approval and Agreement
Once we finalise the loan structure, the proposal will be moved to the approval stage. Upon approval, we will present you with a loan agreement outlining the financing terms and conditions. This document is critical, and we ensure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision.

5. Fund Disbursement
After the agreement is signed and any outstanding conditions are met, the funds are prepared for disbursement. We work closely with you to align the release of funds with your project’s milestones. This ensures that the financing effectively supports your development, allowing you to progress without delays.

6. Ongoing Funding
Our support continues through the life of your project with ongoing funding, typically disbursed monthly or according to agreed-upon milestones. We remain hands-off to allow you to manage your project without unnecessary interference, ensuring that all drawdowns are executed timely to maintain the momentum of your development.

7. Project Completion and Review
As your project nears completion, we will conduct a final review to ensure that all aspects of the development have been executed as planned. This is also an opportunity to discuss future projects or financial needs, as our commitment to your success extends beyond a single project.

Case Study:

Seed Property – Strategic Scaling and Sustained Success

Introduction:

Seed Property started with their first project at 7 Bettina Place, Manurewa. Early on, NZMS recognized their potential and provided crucial funding and strategic guidance even before the completion of the project.

Challenge:

As a newcomer to the market, Seed Property faced two challenges – establishing credibility and scaling its operations. Their first project was a promising start but limited in size, and the team was eager to expand their impact and profitability.

Solution:

Recognizing the limitations and ambitions of Seed Property, NZMS not only financed their first project but also proactively encouraged and facilitated their expansion into larger-scale developments. Before the completion of the Bettina Place project, we helped them secure a significant new site for what would become the Timata Lane project. We provided them with strategic planning, market analysis, and arranged the necessary funding to ensure a seamless transition to larger operations.

Outcome:

The Timata Lane development proved to be a landmark project for Seed Property, significantly larger and more profitable than their initial endeavor. This project not only solidified their reputation in the market but also generated substantial financial returns. Encouraged by this success, Seed Property has continued to undertake further large-scale projects, each echoing the success of Timata Lane, thereby cementing their position as a significant developer in the Auckland region.

Conclusion:

NZMS’s early recognition and support of Seed Property Group’s potential were pivotal in their rapid scaling and ongoing success. By providing timely strategic guidance and financial support, we helped transform a budding developer into a key player in the property development sector. This partnership underscores our commitment to fostering long-term growth and success for our clients.
