Fifo Capital provides short-term finance for business. Clients use our services to: (1) solve immediate cash flow challenges, and (2) to access capital needed to secure new opportunities or for business operations. Since 2004, we have established more than 70 offices across New Zealand and Australia, and provided business owners with over $850 million in growth capital.
Central to the solutions we provide is one-on-one consultancy. Our network of finance experts, meet with clients and spend time understanding their business in order to deliver a purpose-fit solution; a solution that solves the immediate finance need, and which is suitable for both the short and longer term success of the business. The complexities of business finance demand the one-on-one approach, and we continually see the value of this in the success of our clients.
Clients seek the assistance of Fifo Capital for a short period of time when their bank is unable to help. Often this is due to their finance needs outpacing the traditional security options available; or where their need requires a response time that cannot be met by their bank. As Fifo Capital finance solutions are designed for these immediate short-term requirements, we can ‘solve the gap’ quickly for the window of time that the client falls outside of their bank’s criteria, for the specific finance need. Working in tandem with mainstream facilities ensures that clients can access funds for short-term business needs, without impacting the ongoing relationship with their bank.
Very few businesses faced with an immediate finance need are best served by a vanilla solution. Our experience has highlighted that the value of a business finance expert tailoring a solution to a client’s specific needs is immeasurable. Our business finance experts are highly experienced, and have a wealth of knowledge about the mechanics, complexities and unique challenges and opportunities of different industries. This knowledge, coupled with one-on-one consultancy, means our experts are adept at quickly identifying purpose-fit finance solutions for clients.
Our finance experts work in concert with professional services partners – accountants, bank managers, business brokers – to identify the most appropriate solution for client needs.
To the extent that you wish to and which is appropriate for the client, we work with you to identify the short-term solution that supports longer terms business objectives.
We understand the need for immediacy and fast response. Whether a simple query or a transaction, we are available for your client’s needs on the day they arise.
We respect the relationship you have with your client and support that via open communication throughout.
If you ever need to review potential solutions, or talk through the tricky detail of a client scenario, we’re an expert sounding board. Our expertise is freely offered, complimentary and with no-obligation attached.
Fifo Capital Partners and their clients are supported by a range of benefits, including complimentary copies of Headway Magazine, and access to Fifo Capital Knowledge Centre assets.

What is spam?
In the context of electronic messaging, spam refers to unsolicited, bulk or indiscriminate messages, typically sent for commercial purposes. “Electronic messaging” covers emails, instant messaging, SMS and other mobile phone messaging, but does not cover normal voice-to-voice communication by telephone.
An electronic message may constitute spam if it:
– is commercial in nature – i.e. it could be construed as offering a commercial transaction, such as goods or services for sale, or merely directing the recipient to a location where a commercial transaction could take place – is sent without the prior consent of the recipient;
– fails to include accurate information about the sender; and
– does not include a functional unsubscribe facility.
Fifo Capital will take all necessary and reasonable steps required under relevant current Spam legislation to ensure that any commercial electronic messages sent to you do not constitute spam.
Consent
Fifo Capital will take reasonable steps to ensure that it has obtained your express consent prior to sending you electronic commercial messages about Fifo Capital’s products and services. Express consent may come in various ways, including subscribing to our mailing list, filing in a form, ticking a consent box to receive advertising or messages on our website, or consenting over the phone. Where it is impracticable to obtain your consent before sending electronic commercial message to you, we may infer that you have consented to receiving electronic commercial message. Inferred consent can occur:
– via an existing business or other relationship with Fifo Capital, and where there is reasonable expectation of receiving commercial electronic messages; or
– via conspicuous publication of a work-related electronic address; and
– it is accessible to the public, or a section of the public
– the subject of the message is directly related to the role or function of the recipient; and
– the address is not accompanied by a statement saying no commercial messages are wanted.
Identification
Any commercial electronic message sent by Fifo Capital will include a clear and accurate identification information about Fifo Capital, the sender of the message and how we can be contacted. Fifo Capital will take reasonable steps to ensure that the identification information about Fifo Capital is accurate for a period of 30 days after the day on which you receive the electronic commercial message.
Unsubscribing Policy
Under Spam legislation, every commercial electronic message must contain a functional and legitimate ‘unsubscribe’ facility. This is an electronic address the recipient can use to tell the sender they do not wish to receive messages.
Fifo Capital will take reasonable steps to ensure that:
– all commercial electronic messages sent by us will include a functional way for the message’s recipient to indicate that they wish to unsubscribe from any future messages;
– our unsubscribe links in any electric commercial message remain functional for at least 30 days after the original commercial electronic message was sent;
– it allows the unsubscribe message to be sent to whoever authorised the sending of the message;
the unsubscribe instructions are presented in a clear and conspicuous way;
– a request to unsubscribe is honoured within five-(5)working days;
unsubscribing is at low or no cost, to the recipient; and
If you receive a message from Fifo Capital that is not in accordance with the above, contact us and the matter will be promptly investigated and resolved.
Fifo Capital Unsubscribe Process
The e-Marketing systems Fifo Capital uses for electronic communication allow recipients the option to automatically unsubscribe from any electronic commercial message.
All manual unsubscribe requests go through the Marketing Manager or Operations Manager (as a secondary person). The necessary details for unsubscribing from any electronic commercial message sent by Fifo Capital are as follows:
SMS: Subject Line: ‘Unsubscribe’

Fifo Capital will not use electronic address harvesting software, or lists which have been generated using software, for the purposes of sending unsolicited commercial electronic messages.
