At Chantrey Vellacott DFK we have many years of experience in advising companies seeking to float on the Main Market of The London Stock Exchange, AIM (the Alternative Investment Market) or PLUS Markets.

Our Capital Markets Group has helped these clients through the flotation process and we have continued to provide them with valuable ongoing advice.

In particular we have built up a team who specialise in advising clients on gaining admission to AIM and the ongoing requirement once the company is admitted to trading.

Our experience includes (but is not limited to):

• acting as reporting accountants;
• advising companies with publicly traded capital instruments;
• acting for both UK and overseas companies that are quoted in the UK, and;
• transaction services including due diligence.

Obtaining a listing on one of the United Kingdom’s financial markets is a stressful process and it is therefore essential that you engage skilled and experienced advisers that you can trust to help you through this difficult period.

We have well established relationships with nominated advisers, brokers, lawyers and other professionals and can identify introductions most appropriate to the business and transaction concerned.

We are experienced in the requirements of the Listing Rules, the AIM, rules, the PLUS Markets rules. As such we can fulfil the role of reporting accountants and carry out the work that is likely to be required as part of the admission process. This will include:

• preparing short form reports on historical financial information;
• preparing long form due diligence reports on companies and targets;
• carrying out reviews of working capital forecasts, and;
• performing other work that may be needed in order to provide the financial adviser or sponsor with the comfort that they require to support the flotation.

At Chantrey Vellacott DFK we have a team of experienced professionals who provide a complete and expert service leading up to admission.

Advising clients with publicly traded capital instruments

Once we have assisted a company through the admission process, we have the necessary skills to advise and assist the company and its directors on their ongoing responsibilities and obligations including:

• interim and annual audit reporting requirements;
• corporate governance compliance, and;
• corporate taxation compliances and advisory services.
