Backing the People who Built it
Who We Are
Centrepoint Partners works with founder-led businesses across Australia and Singapore.
When you work with Centrepoint, you work directly with Pauline Teng. She advises founders at the moments that matter most: when growth requires capital and strategic thinking, when a sale is on the table but the terms do not feel right, or when the path to the next level is unclear.
The founder stays in the driver's seat. Pauline brings the network, the capital structure and the experience to get there faster.

What we do
Centrepoint works with founders in three ways, depending on where they are and what they need.
Strategic Advisory For founders who want a thinking partner with real commercial experience. Pauline works with you on growth strategy, capital decisions and positioning the business for a stronger outcome. Engagement is equity-aligned: Pauline's interests move with yours.
Partner to Scale You keep control of the business you built. Pauline brings capital, strategic advisory and an M&A engine to accelerate growth and build a significantly larger exit together. Built for founders who are not ready to sell but know they need more than they currently have access to.
Scale Through Acquisition Growth does not always come from within. Pauline works with founders to identify, structure and integrate acquisitions that accelerate scale, expand market position and build enterprise value faster than organic growth alone. This is the M&A path built for operators, not financial buyers.
Acquire and Operate For founders who are ready to transition. A straightforward acquisition with long-term stewardship that protects the team, the brand and the customer relationships you spent years building.
