Our Story

Back in 2015, we noticed a major problem in New Zealand’s property development industry—too many great commercial projects were failing to secure funding. Tired of watching good ideas go to waste, we consolidated our expertise and deep understanding of the market and founded MCS Capital.

Our mission was simple: to create smart, flexible finance solutions that help developers and investors get their projects off the ground and over the finish line. 

Today, we continue that mission, building strong partnerships and working closely with our clients to turn potential into progress.
