Who is General Australia?

We are a small company set up by professional owners who are experienced in providing professional services and advice on business systems, transport fleets, rail rolling stock, commercial aerospace and telecommunications.

We are looking for investment opportunities either via capital or 'work for equity' in small companies based in Australia or Asia. We are specialists in business growth and investment, including offering the following key services:

Our experience includes:

- strategic and complex procurement for heavy manufacturing products and systems

- commercial aerospace fleet tech/ops support

- commercial airplane and engine trading (aircraft trading)

- commercial airplane introduction, specification, selection

- air freight equipment operation and engineering support

- road freight operations and equipment specification

- enterprise systems design and specification

- yield systems and management

- network communications and infrastructure

We have worked for, with, or supporting the following Australian based company operations:

QANTAS

Hewlett Packard

Tabcorp

Foxtel

KPMG / Bearing Point

Boeing Commercial Airplanes

Finemores

Toll

Telstra

Australian air Express

Jets

Downer Group (formerly Downer EDI)

We also have worked with numerous companies in Asia, primarily in Singapore, Thailand, India and China.

What we have to offer.

Is your company in need of a business angel or maybe someone who can come in and help you with that strategic step, the systemic improvements, or the big company knowledge but you haven't got the opex to cover it? That's our offer - we will come in and give you that lever into the next steps for your business, but you don't necessarily pay. The only payback is if the business grows and we deliver.

In addition we have access to subject matter experts who we can bring to the project with all the knowledge, skills, and flexibility you require. Many are ex-General Manager or similar executive level personnel from consultancies or market leading enterprises, yet with extensive on the ground real business applied experience (i.e. we don't just give you powerpoints and run). Don't you want people you can talk to in detail and they understand? We can talk to the important aspects of your business - like why a weld or a certain step in your product is the way it is and what makes your competitive edge happen. Rarely will you get the mix of hands on, technical, project, and commercial in one person, or one team.

Spot the difference - we know what running a small business is like - there isn't a department for this, and another for that.

What we can achieve.

Examples of what we have achieved for other businesses:

- reduction in first tier transport operations costs of 9%

- reduction in procurement costs of over 25% for systems products

- complex projects in IT and communications on time, with savings versus budget of greater than 5%

- aviation equipment reduction in cost by over 15% by use of leveraged purchasing and frameworks

We'd like to meet you if you have what we want.

We are looking to partner with companies in need of professional assistance with a view to making a buy-in or working for equity. We offer a wide range of experiences as listed above and may provide a low risk and low capital cost approach to business improvement - think of it as a business angel type relationship.

If you have a company matching our scope we'd like to hear from you via our contacts above. We promise complete confidentiality and where buy in is deemed equitable we offer to evaluate your company professionally using industry experts specializing in acquisitions and business operations - we rely on experts to provide fair appraisals.

Want to get in touch but unsure of confidentiality?

Like we say, we promise confidentiality. Part of this will require you to engage a business broker/agent to act as an intermediary (in fact we pretty much demand it). This will help you in compiling the documentation and details required to initiate any equity investment process.

We have an independent business and capital agent who can work with you to bring your idea to us. However, we at least request an initial broad description of the business before forwarding the details of our agent. Please send us the basic information to our email address above.

2011.

We have availability starting March 2011 for business angel / work for equity in businesses valued at up to AUD10m. Contact us now if you need help to grow your business or get over challenges that are holding you back.
