Flotations or initial public offerings (IPOs) in the UK, Europe and worldwide have seen a recent resurgence.

Whether you are considering a flotation on the main market of the London Stock Exchange or the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), we can offer experienced independent advice.

Guiding flotations for optimum value

Our dedicated IPO team can take you from initial feasibility to float. We will work through the issues with your team:

• historical track record
• balance sheet and cash flow
• due diligence and working capital
• business structure
• management team issues
• operations
• tax structuring
• potential contingencies
• IAS and GAAP work
• pre-float share option planning

We can help prepare prospectus and investor presentations, advise on optimum timing, take you through regulatory compliance and procedures and project manage other advisors.

The flotation process can be extremely long, complex and absorb a significant amount of management’s time without guarantee of ultimate success. Our substantial experience in quickly identifying issues that may cause an IPO to be delayed, abandoned or see market value eroded, coupled with our recent track record of executing a wide range of flotations, goes a long way to ensuring a successful outcome.
