Map investors, make warm introductions and run the raise with the founder: search capital first, then equity and debt for the first acquisition of quarries and construction aggregates.

Context. A new Australian platform is being formed to buy and hold essential real-asset businesses outside real estate, starting with quarries and construction aggregates, then infrastructure services such as fuel storage, water and transport. The founder is searching for the anchor acquisition now, using a register of every licensed quarry and fuel facility in Australia, and will then recruit operator-CEOs for each vertical under a permanent holding company.

Why it matters. Councils and family owners hold hundreds of Australia's quarries, many without a succession plan, while demand for local construction materials keeps rising. Patient capital that respects local supply, jobs and rehabilitation keeps these assets in strong hands.

What we're looking for

• Has raised equity or debt for search funds, independent sponsors, infrastructure or lower mid-market private equity in Australia
• Relationships with search fund investors, family offices, infrastructure and real-asset managers, and acquisition lenders
• Holds an Australian financial services licence, or is an authorised representative of a licensee (required)
• Comfortable working on a success fee only

Scope

• Map and prioritise likely investors for search capital and for equity and debt in the first acquisition
• Make warm introductions and manage the investor process alongside the founder
• Help shape investor materials and terms; the founder leads all negotiations
• Wholesale and sophisticated investors only; no retail offers
