Debt Capital Markets
Issuing debt on the Maltese Capital Markets offers companies an attractive financing alternative providing independence from financial institutions and giving the issuer an opportunity for direct interaction with investors.
We assist companies to raise finance through the issuance of debt through either the Main Market, Prospects MTF or the Institutional Financial Securities Market. Our involvement from the initial stages helps the issuer structure an attractive proposal for a diversified universe of lenders. Through our established international partner network, we effectively provide a one stop shop solution which is both time and cost effective.
Equity Capital Markets
A business can opt to raise finance via the sale of equity in the company, either by issuing new shares or by selling existing shares. This option also permits the existing investors to realise their initial investment in the business. Being a listed company and having integrated the necessary corporate governance tends to have a positive impact on the performance of the business and hence the bottom line.
Our team guides and advises companies through the listing process on either the Main Market or Prospects MTF. Through our established international partner network, we effectively provide a one stop shop solution which is both time and cost effective.
In addition to listing a company we also offer our clients access to finance through private placements when we identify synergies between selected international qualified investors and the issuer.
The Listing Process
The issue process is typically divided into eight stages and would normally take 3 to 6 months to complete. A successful issue requires the collaboration of the Company, the Financial Advisor/Corporate Advisor, the Legal Advisors, the Sponsoring Brokers, the Manager and the Registrar.
