Funding Business Growth
Co-authored by Gus Gilkeson and Nick Wormald
Funding Business Growth grew from years spent working directly with Australian business owners and seeing the same challenge arise again and again: good businesses with opportunities to grow, but uncertainty around how to fund what came next.
Published in 2025, the book brings together practical experience from hundreds of real business funding journeys to help owners better understand the relationship between growth, structure and finance.
It explores how to assess whether a business is ready to grow, the importance of sequencing growth well, the different forms of funding available and what businesses need to consider when approaching lenders.
For Nick, the thinking behind the book remains closely connected to the work he does today at GibbonStope: understand the business first, get the foundations right, then consider where funding can genuinely support what comes next.
