Catalytic Impact Capital
Funding Australian Corporates who are Accelerating the Climate Transition
We focus on delivering tailored non-dilutionary financing solutions in the $2m—$20m range for Australian corporates accelerating the climate transition.
Too small for the big end of town to be interested.
Too important to Australia’s climate transition to be ignored.
New / transition economy businesses need financiers who take the time to understand their business model, the decarbonisation problems they are solving and the financial returns their business will generate.
And then, and only then, structure a bespoke loan solution unique to their business.
This section of the market is unbanked / underbanked, with loan sizes typically being too small for the banks and large funds to be interested.
Other funders who do offer loan financing tend to seek options and warrants to access equity upside and dilute existing shareholders.
Loans conditions are not fit for purpose.
Your collateral is not recognised or is undervalued.
Catalytic is a boutique financier and advisory firm committed to advancing Australia’s climate transition.
We are dedicated to supporting Australian innovation and technologies that are driving the decarbonisation of both our economy and our planet.
We operate where banks often do not, taking the time to understand:
Your business model
Your decarbonisation solution
Your management team
From that understanding, we may structure a bespoke loan solution designed to provide the funding and flexibility climate-transition businesses need to scale.
What success looks like:
Fit-for-purpose finance
A commercial loan tailored to your business
Partnership throughout the journey
With discretion and professionalism
Successful scaling and profitability
Scale with confidence and be positioned for the mainstream
A pathway to mainstream funding
Your successful migration away from Catalytic to a mainstream bank lender
Lending
We provide secured, tailored debt facilities for Australian corporates accelerating the climate transition, typically in the $2m-$20m range.
Where we can be a fit
- growth capital
- asset-backed or cashflow-supported structures (including non-standard collateral)
- facilities that need bespoke
- terms to match the project and revenue profile
Typical outcomes
- access to capital that is otherwise hard to secure
- financing terms aligned to how you grow and deliver
- minimised dilution through a debt-first approach
Debt Advisory
Sometimes the right outcome starts with structure. Our debt advisory support helps businesses:

- evaluate lender options and term structures
- plan the pathway from bespoke funding to mainstream bankability

Impact in action:
$10 million facility to accelerate no-upfront solar and battery access
Solar and battery systems can cost over $20,000, creating a major upfront barrier for many Australian households and businesses.
Catalytic Impact Capital provided a secured funding facility of up to $10 million to help a well known national energy aggregator roll out no-upfront solar and battery systems through their partner energy retailers.
Results (during the life of the loan):
600+ systems deployed
Customers projected to save more than $6 million over the next decade
Typical annual savings of $750 to $900

How to get started?
Make an enquiry
Share a short summary of your business, funding requirement ($2m-$20m), use of funds, and timeline.
Your questions, answered.
Do you fund businesses Australia-wide (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide)?
Yes. We work with Australian corporations nationally. Location is less important than the fundamentals of the project and structure.
What facility sizes do you typically provide?
Our focus is $2m-$20m, where many borrowers are underbanked by mainstream lenders.
Is your funding non-dilutionary?
Our focus is debt-first solutions designed to avoid unnecessary dilution. Any equity-linked terms (if ever considered) would be discussed transparently.
What types of climate-transition businesses are a fit?
Businesses enabling decarbonisation across energy transition, circular economy, future foods / aqua+agri tech and carbon markets.
How quickly can you respond to an enquiry?
We endeavour to responde to all genuine enquiries within the same day.
What security or collateral do you require?
It depends on the structure. We are comfortable assessing non-standard or sector-specific collateral where banks may not.
Do you provide debt advisory without lending?
Yes, where helpful. Advisory can support readiness, structuring, and lender engagement.
