Tiaki Capital

What Tiaki Capital does

Tiaki Capital is an independent corporate finance advisory firm headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand, founded in 2004. The firm specializes in facilitating private business transactions in the $10 million to $200 million range across New Zealand, Australia, and Asia Pacific (including China). Its services span mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, succession planning, IPO preparation, joint ventures, capital restructuring, debt advisory, and management buyouts, with a target client base of private business owners seeking to sell, restructure, or transition their enterprises.

The firm operates a professional services revenue model, generating income through negotiated advisory fees — typically structured as success fees and/or retainers tied to transaction value and complexity. It employs a direct enterprise field sales motion, leveraging principals' backgrounds at Tier 1 investment banking and Big 4 firms, sector relationships, and a global investor network to source and execute cross-border deals. Multi-lingual capability and cross-cultural expertise are explicitly positioned as differentiators for international deal facilitation. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed.

Tiaki Capital does not operate proprietary technology platforms, software products, or AI-driven systems; the firm's operating model is relationship-driven and principal-led rather than technology-scaled. It maintains an Auckland headquarters at Level 9, 68 Shortland Street, and engages the market through direct outreach, its website, and memberships in the Auckland Business Chamber, EMA (Employers and Manufacturers Association), and MIEA (Massey Industrial Engineering Association). Ownership is private, with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or external funding.
