Commenting on the matter, lead partner Glen Sauer said: “We are pleased to advise Next Capital on their latest investment from Next Capital Fund IV, after assisting with their recent Eptec and JUCY Car Rental investments. We look forward to working with Next Capital and the Compare Club team as the business grows and helps more Australians with their most important spending decisions.”
