- 42 companies on
the Official List of the London Stock Exchange
- 59 AIM companies
Our expertise covers
the following areas:
- Flotations and
secondary share issues
We are able to advise
clients through the entire flotation process. With our help and expertise,
what can often be seen as a daunting and complex procedure is rendered
as straight forward as possible. We regard the flotation process as a
very important first step in building the long term relationship we seek
to establish with all our clients. This includes advice on raising further
funds to finance future developments. We have the capacity to underwrite
substantial fundraising exercises.
We offer
our clients comprehensive advice on the full range of financing options
available as well as on their strategic development including the planning
of acquisitions or disposals. All the advice is geared to achieving the
successful fulfilment of clients’ corporate business plans.
We act on behalf of
our clients to assist them to formulate and execute plans for acquisitions.
We will assist in identifying potential targets through research, advise
on valuations, negotiate on behalf of clients and arrange financing for
the transactions.
We advise on different
methods of disposal, assist in identifying potential purchasers and negotiate
the sale to realise the best price.
At different stages
of a company’s growth, different fund raising strategies are appropriate.
For companies at an early stage we can offer advice on development capital,
private placings and debt funding.
Public company takeovers
and mergers
Growth by takeover
and merger is another important option available to public companies.
This can be a complex process and we aim to ensure clients reap the benefits
whilst avoiding potential problems. We therefore provide advice on the
terms and financing of a public offer and the important regulatory aspects
for both offerees and offerors.
We offer advice on
corporate broking either as a separate service or as part of our overall
corporate finance service.
Our advice in this
area covers
- Communicating with
the market
- Advising our clients
on the timing, content, release strategies and overall presentation
of information to the market.
