By leveraging our expertise and experience in the industry, we can provide our clients the following professional services, including:

Strategic investors

• Identifying suitable strategic investors for potential investments or joint ventures;

Ongoing monitoring

• Assisting to monitor the business development and operations, internal controls and corporate governance on an ongoing basis;

• Providing timely access and advisory support to clients;

• Ensuring the normal course of business and a company’s track record are able to comply with the listing rules.

Companies need to be “groomed” for the market so that the highest possible price is obtained for the shares together with institutional support for a strong aftermarket. This process begins well before the actual flotation, and often requires a complete financial accounting, tax planning and management advisory service.

Secondary offerings

A listing is a key step in a company’s development. Subsequent expansion will be funded by way of rights issues, open offers and placements etc. We can assist with managing these second and subsequent offerings, preparing the relevant documentation, liaising with the regulators and working with underwriters and brokers.

We can manage and sponsor your listing on the world’s major equity capital markets and secure additional funds on the secondary markets.
