CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, July 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- LAGO, a premier alternative investment platform focused on the lower middle market, announced it has successfully closed a strategic financing facility for Koala Eco, a purpose-led consumer goods company creating high-performance home, body, and cleaning products made with natural, plant-derived ingredients and pure essential oils. Founded in Sydney, Australia in 2017, Koala Eco is committed to bringing safe and effective products for a clean home, body and mind to households worldwide.

"When we started Koala Eco, our goal was simple: get safe, powerful, plant-based products with Australian essential oils into more homes, and help people feel more connected to nature," noted Jessica Bragdon and Paul Davidson, Co-Founders of Koala Eco. "Partnering with LAGO allows us to advance our goals on a bigger scale, expand to more retailers, and importantly, without losing what has made our company worth building. We're grateful for their belief in us, and excited for what will come next."

Koala Eco offers a wide range of plant-based, non-toxic home and body care products formulated with Australian essential oils, which are biodegradable, septic-safe and avoid synthetic fragrances and harsh chemicals. Key product categories include kitchen and bathroom cleaners, natural laundry washes, stain sprays, and personal care items such as hand washes and body washes. The company takes a sustainable approach across its business, using recycled, recyclable and refillable bottles, concentrates and glass.

"We're delighted to partner with Koala Eco, a leader in the wellness and sustainability space, and this financing which includes a revolving line of credit and meaningful growth capital term loan will help drive their continued growth and expansion efforts," said Heather La Freniere, Managing Partner and COO of LAGO. "We have every confidence in their product line that is clean, natural and effective for a variety of consumer and household needs while making a positive environmental impact, and are so pleased to support this next phase of development."
