Capital markets

Flotation on a public market is one of the options to help grow your business, either to:

• raise funds
• increase your company's profile
• provide an exit strategy for the business owners.

There are several phases to flotation, all of which need expert advice and assistance. Baker Tilly advises companies worldwide who are seeking to list on either the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange or the Main List.
 
As reporting accountants we can guide you every step of the way with a personal and efficient service, supported by invaluable experience.
 
We also have established relationships across the industry to help introduce you to other advisers who are integral to the flotation process.
 
Our services include:

• reporting accountants
• advice on preparation for flotation e.g. advice on financial structuring, accounting systems and policies, and taxation – we also have a separate team which can advise at an early stage on business strategy
• share option and other director/employer benefit advice
• ongoing audit and taxation services – we are also known specialists in the complex VCT and EIS legislation which can assist with fund raising for smaller AIM companies.

Baker Tilly is a leading adviser to the AIM market. So far we have worked on over 250 AIM transactions for companies of many sizes and sectors across the globe. Furthermore, we have been voted Growth Company AIM Accountant of the Year in four of the last five years. Our head of Capital Markets is one of only two reporting accountants represented on the London Stock Exchange's AIM Advisory Group.
 
Whether you are a fast growing company or blue chip organisation seeking flotation, or a public company looking to de-list, we have nationwide Capital Markets expertise to help fulfil your organisation's objectives.
