Australia Equity-Backed Funding
Direct, non-recourse capital for shareholders of ASX-listed securities — fast terms, no personal or corporate guarantees, deployed from Squadron Capital’s own balance sheet.
Squadron Capital deploys direct, non-recourse capital for shareholders of Australian Securities Exchange (ASX)–listed equities. Australian directors, founders and major shareholders frequently hold concentrated single-line positions and want liquidity without an on-market sale that would attract disclosure or move the stock. Facilities are arranged in days, not weeks, with no personal or corporate guarantees.
Squadron deploys its own capital, so every decision is direct, discreet and fast. Directors, founders, brokers, intermediaries and family offices across the ASX use Squadron to unlock liquidity from concentrated holdings while retaining market exposure, with substantial-holding disclosure handled cleanly. Squadron has operated in Asia for more than 15 years.
