Venture development

Boronia Corporation helps new and growing ventures make intelligent investment decisions, protect valuable intellectual property, and raise capital.

Feasibility

Feasibility assesses whether to launch an activity and makes a business case for investment. Boronia Corporation has completed feasibility studies into major capital investment projects in areas including construction, manufacturing, and biotechnology. These studies have included an analysis of critical factors, market and environmental issues, resource requirements, financial viability, and capital requirements. Feasibility studies can also include sophisticated financial business models.

Technology evaluation

Technology evaluation helps to identify the economic potential of technological discoveries. Boronia Corporation has conducted investigations of commercialisation feasibility and marketability, judged potential economic values and competitive power of new discoveries, assessed market and technical risks, and evaluated intellectual property positions and strategies.

Capital raising

Boronia Corporation has helped raise over $42 million in seed, start-up and expansion capital through grants, angel and venture capital equity, and debt markets. Most capital raising is facilitated through the development of an associated business plan and financial forecasts.

Winning tender applications for consultancy projects

Boronia Corporation has extensive experience in developing competitive tender applications and project plans for consultancy projects for state and national government agencies. Leading consortia of diverse researchers and consultants, our tenders have consistently outperformed in winning business over lower-priced competitors, even from government agencies which themselves concede it is most unusual to assign a contract based on quality rather than price. Successful tenders have been written for agencies including the Department of Education, Science and Training, Main Roads Western Australia, the Australia Council for the Arts, and the Department of Education and Training Western Australia.

Other successful grant applications have been secured for clients with funding from the Gates Foundation, the National Health and Medical Research Council, the Australian Research Council, AusIndustry's Commercial Ready and R&D Tax Concession, AusTrade's Export Markets Development Grant, the Department of Industry and Resources Western Australia, and the Department of Premier and Cabinet Western Australia.
