Capital markets are supposed to be extremely efficient. In reality this is often not the case. First Columbus has been set up specifically to address this issue, particularly for international companies looking to raise money in a geography with which they are unfamiliar. Through our experienced and professional capital market team we are committed to providing high quality advice and a value added service for our clients such that all their capital market requirements are met. Only through ensuring the highest levels of client satisfaction can we continue to enhance our reputation as one of the leading UK based specialist investment and advisory companies.

With this in mind our Vision and Mission is best summarised below:

• To quickly, efficiently and cost effectively facilitate pre IPO financing on the best terms possible for earlier stage high growth companies.
• To provide structured and unbiased advice and guidance for international companies looking to raise public funds on AIM and the London Stock Exchange.
• To accommodate the specific needs of each of our clients such that they find the best solution to their specific financing requirements.
• To ensure that we act in the best faith and with the utmost integrity for our clients.
• To be accountable for all of our actions and strive to never over commit versus what we can deliver.
