Floating Your Company covers every aspect of the flotation process and gives advice on the issues facing any company considering flotation - whether it be on the main board of the London Stock Exchange or on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), the Exchange's market specifically tailored to growing businesses. It explains the strategic issues that may arise, as well as the inevitable changes that occur - both in terms of the day-to-day running of the business and in the overall company culture. It considers the initial decision to float, flotation alternatives, the use of professional advisers, the listing process and the continuing obligations post-flotation. This new edition also includes a new section on considerations for shareholders and directors, including tax issues, funding expansion and acquisitions, and the impact of increasing FSA regulations.
