Corporate expertise
The corporate finance team can provide the full range of investment banking services to its clients. The team's in-depth knowledge and innovative approach is drawn from many years' experience of advising a wide range of clients, from fully listed FTSE 100 and AIM listed companies through to private companies and individuals.
Our advice to clients covers a wide range of services and includes both M&A and fundraising activities.
Examples include:
M&A
- Successful bid defences on hostile offers
- Managing competitive bid situations to achieve maximum value, both on the public markets and in the private sector
- Acting as Rule 3 adviser to clients in relation to public offers
- Reverse acquisitions
- Advising clients on the acquisition of companies and/or the disposal of subsidiaries
- Corporate restructurings involving both UK and overseas clients
Fundraisings
- IPOs, both to raise new monies for companies and to realise value for existing shareholders
- Secondary fundraisings on both the Main Market and AIM, including institutional placings, underwritten rights issues and open offers to provide further funding for the expansion of operations
- Acquisition finance
- Corporate restructuring finance
We have also raised new funds for private companies, usually ahead of a proposed market listing at a later date.
For our retained clients we provide both financial advisory and broker services on an ongoing basis in conjunction with our research analysts, sales team and market makers to both Main Market, AIM and PLUS companies.
Arbuthnot Securities is on the UKLA list of sponsors, an AIM Nominated Adviser and a PLUS Corporate Adviser.
