Flotations and Initial Public Offerings (IPOs)
An initial public offering (IPO) is not
the easiest path to follow in the present
climate. However, for well-managed companies
with strong growth plans, there are still
good prospects for obtaining investment capital
and accession to a share listing.
Whether floating on AIM (alternative investment
market) or the main market of the London Stock
Exchange, the IPO process requires careful planning.
Our role is to act as sponsor or NOMAD (nominated
adviser) to companies undertaking IPOs, including
advising on:
- IPO strategy, timing and business
preparation.
-
The board composition.
-
The choice of brokers, who will place
the shares, and other relevant advisers.
-
Process management – co-ordinating the
work of broking, accounting, PR and legal professionals
involved.
-
Establishing with the brokers the appropriate
parameters for pricing and share distribution.
-
Guidance on the regulatory aspects of
an IPO and drafting of the prospectus.
-
Maintaining your objectivity and advising
you independently of those providing the funding.
We are also able to draw upon other services
across KPMG including acting as reporting accountants
and tax advisers (corporate and personal).
Why are you considering a flotation?
-
To realise value for all or part of your
investment in the business?
-
For financing flexibility (through long-term
capital, the ability to issue further equity
or listed debt) in order to expand your markets,
make acquisitions or reduce gearing?
-
To gain a higher profile and visibility
with customers and suppliers – a sign
of credibility that may help to lower costs?
-
For an avenue to motivate staff through
share option schemes?
