Equity Capital Markets

EMINTAD helps businesses looking to list (or increase their capital) on regulated and alternative (AIM) stock markets in an attempt to stimulate growth and increase their value.

The first step in the preparation for an IPO or equity offering is to identify the market best suited to the requirements of the business.This requires feasibility studies and an assessment of the competition. Also established at this step is the timeline for the launch of the offering.

Our assistance involves selecting and subsequently managing the key players in the flotation process (financial intermediaries, legal practices, auditing firms, marketing firms), identifying investors, and handling relations with regulators and authorities (Consob and Borsa Italiana) through every phase of the flotation process.

Our actions include:

• Company evaluation;

• Preparation of the business plan and the equity story directed at institutional investors and financial intermediaries;

• Verification that the requirements for access to the selected market are met;

• Filing of paperworkwith the supervisory authority and market management company;

• Promoting the flotation and the company’s image in the media and on the domestic and international financial markets.
