PRE-INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING (IPO) AND EQUITY CAPITAL MARKETS ADVISORY

Selecting the most synergistic combination of syndicate members and service providers accompanying the upcoming transaction is one of the key elements of success for any IPO/SPO. We believe that companies looking to raise capital can substantially benefit from choosing an independent financial advisor – a party, whose interests are 100% aligned with those of the issuing company and its management. We can guide you in the IPO process from start to finish. Being in the advisory capacity allows us to work together with investment banks (the syndicate, research analysts, and distribution / sales teams) and ensure that all aspects of the company’s business model are presented fairly, compared to relevant peer groups, and marketed to an exhaustive list of potentially interested investors and analysts.
