Frequently Asked Questions
How much capital can I raise with KP Retail's support?
The amount varies depending on your business stage, sector, and investor appetite. Our network includes angel investors, venture capital funds, and family offices. We also help identify non-dilutive grant funding that can run alongside your equity raise.
What types of businesses does KP Retail work with?
We work with Australian businesses of all sizes — from early-stage startups to established retailers and fast-growth technology companies. We have particular expertise in retail, e-commerce, consumer goods, and technology.
Can I raise capital and apply for grants at the same time?
Yes — in fact, combining government grants with private capital is one of the most effective funding strategies for Australian businesses. Grants provide non-dilutive funding that reduces the equity you need to give away, while investment capital provides the growth runway you need.
