Floating Your Company
4. Advisers
4.1 You will need to appoint and retain a corporate adviser.
- For PLUS, your adviser (referred to as a corporate adviser) will need to be a member of PLUS.
- For AIM, your adviser (referred to as a nominated adviser, or Nomad) will need to be on the register of advisers maintained by the London Stock Exchange.
4.2 Getting a stockbroker is a good idea and essential if you are looking to raise money, or float on AIM.
- The stockbroker will help find and interest potential investors.
- The stockbroker will help maintain your profile with investors once the company has floated.
4.3 Other advisers will need to be involved.
- These include your auditor (see 5.1) and your lawyer (see 5.2).
- You may want to involve a financial PR company, particularly if you are raising significant amounts of money.
