Australia’s only purpose-built growth capital fund dedicated to the SME sector, the Australian Business Growth Fund (ABGF) supports Australian businesses to realise their full potential. Today, we are one of the leading investors of growth capital in Australia. We have over $500 million of capital to deploy, with initial investments of $5 million to $15 million in each business, and up to $15 million in follow-on investments. Our unique public-private partnership model, facilitated by a powerful alliance between the Federal Government and six major banks, bridges a critical gap in the market between venture capital and private equity. Our mission goes beyond financial investment. ABGF brings together capital, capability and connections, while only taking a minority stake in the business – leaving the business in control.

The "Anything Goes"​ approach to food, wall art, hot sauce & life in general. THE SHORT STORY... Back in 1995, a college kid with absolutely no restaurant experience decided he wanted to open a restaurant - a Tex-Mex restaurant. Everyone thought he was a little crazy, but it turns out thats just what the restaurant landscape needed at the time - the weird, the wild, the insanely great food of Tijuana Flats. Fast forward to now - Tijuana Flats now has 65 corporate and 25+ Franchise locations in several states! We pride ourselves in serving fresh, never frozen or microwaved food, in a funky, laid-back atmosphere that both our guests and team love. Can you imagine never having to work on holidays? Guess what, it isnt a dream! We are actually closed on 7 major holidays so our team can enjoy the day with family and friends. Since day one one of our most important Core Values has been community and Tijuana Flats has always given back to the community. But in January 2007, we created the Just in Queso (JIQ) Foundation to give back even more. Much more. Over $6.0 million to date to help those in need. Company Mission: Tijuana Flats is committed to providing guests with fresh Tex-Mex food and outstanding service in a friendly, fun & exciting atmosphere. Our CORE VALUES: Respect, Quality, Opportunity, Integrity, Innovation, Fun & Community drive our unique culture, creating a solid foundation that increases value for our guests, partners & everyone in between.
