What we offer
We support the Food & Beverage and Agribusiness sectors in New Zealand through two distinct methods:

Active Investment

We are currently looking to invest in a number of New Zealand Food & Beverage and/or Agribusinesses. The key point to our investment is that it is an active one that enables us to add value by working within and assisting in leadership.

An ideal business would be one that can benefit from our core skill sets (described below) and that also has the following attributes:
  • A great product that consumers are demanding
  • Validation that a market exists for their product by having gained initial traction
  • Is either about to enter a high growth phase or is currently underperforming
  • Are turning over <$10m in sales per annum but have significant potential
Our strongest area of expertise is in selling high quality New Zealand products into the Asian region. There are four key areas where we add value to an Active Investment to enable this to occur:
        Sales / Export

We love selling - and are very good at it ! 
The sale of products to export markets is a critical part of continuing growth. Through our extensive experience in international markets (Asia in particular) we develop strategies for successful export sales and we love personally implementing them.
          Governance

‘The undervalued function for many SME’s in NZ’ - a brand's value can only be scaled through processes and systems and SLC Group will ensure that effective governance is established and maintained within any business in which we are involved.
         Management

The management of a business involves all aspects of the implementation of long-term and short-term strategies. We ideally work with the current management to utilise both our respective skill sets in a way that brings maximum value to the business.
          Investment

Having the required capital to enable a business to grow effectively is critical if its goals are to be achieved. In combination with our other skill sets, we are able to provide financial support to SME’s who are at the growth stage or are currently underperforming.

Strategic Support

The platform of the Strategic Support offering is our customer centric view, particularly in Asian markets through our extensive experience in this region. This concept is highly relevant to the following areas where we are able to add significant value:
                     Sales

Sales are the life-blood of every company. They create options and allow you to build on opportunities. We love selling and have extensive experience in it - specifically with high quality New Zealand products being exported into Asia. We support companies looking to grow or who are not achieving their potential.
              Brand Strategy

Review of existing brand strategies or development of new brand strategies to ensure that they are clear and set the company on a successful brand path. This is where the value lies for companies and where we set the platform to excel.
              Export Strategy

The development/improvement of export strategies and assisting with effective implementation. Once we understand your brand and offering we narrow down potential target markets and succeed one market at a time.
