First Columbus' professionals have been operating at the heart of London’s small and mid cap AIM exchange since its inception a decade ago and have built up an extensive network of relationships in the financing world both in the UK and North America. Combined with our deep understanding and appreciation of the critical issues and financial pressure that small but fast growing companies face, we are superbly positioned to offer unique professional advice and service that helps both international companies and their investors achieve their financial goal.
Extensive relationships help deliver unique solutions and better valuations
First Columbus' professionals all have significant experience in the London financial markets having worked directly in roles such as corporate finance, sales, research and financial analysis, both at large investment banks and also at the largest UK broking firms that operate on AIM. This has enabled us to forge strong partnerships with all the key IPO advisory players including NOMADs, brokers, lawyers and accountants, as well as the institutional investment community here in London. Furthermore, we have created our own unique Advisory Panel of both industry professionals and top rated UK securities analysts whose advice and own relationships prove invaluable for the companies with whom we work. With deep relationships both on the sell and buy side, First Columbus is superbly positioned to open doors for our clients that would otherwise be impossible to open on their own. Only from this advantageous position can valuations be properly maximised both at the pre IPO and IPO stages.
International partnerships are also important
In addition to our strong relationships in the UK, we are continually looking to extend our network of international partnerships with other strategic players such as private equity investors, investment boutiques, lawyers and accountants and indeed individual professionals. Our partners all have relationships with companies, both directly and indirectly, that benefit substantially through their ability to connect them with financing options here in the London market provided and facilitated by First Columbus.
