Securitisation – Cost of Funds History
What We Got Right! Got to profitability! Timing Copied unashamedly! Had a documented business plan … and stuck to it Kept it simple Successful launch … the power of PR! Advertised … built a brand and a culture consistent with that proposition Established and owned the “category” continued …
What We Got Right! (continued …) Adopted and maintained a consistent “position” … anti bank … consumers’ champion Focus … single product offering until profitability Invested in systems and technology Paid well … incentivised greatly … not just financially! Chose our location well (accidentally?) Planned the Exit/Succession! Finally … had fun!
What We Got Wrong! Undersold ourselves … entrepreneurs are a scarce resource! Did not retain sufficient equity for a subsequent dilution Did not focus on team dynamics Under-estimated the distraction of intra- shareholder relations Should have divisionalised Built a second tier representative management team … sooner Timing!
