Make an enquiry Capital Markets Special purpose acquisition company services An experienced and robust provider of servicing SPACs transactions Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) have seen a rapid surge in the IPO market in 2020, being a popular, and competitive, investment choice for the likes of private equity and real estate fund managers, sovereign wealth funds and investment banks. SPACs are newly formed companies raising cash in an IPO to fund the merger or acquisition of a target private company, with a defined criteria. Once merged, the private company becomes public. This process is quicker than traditional IPOs and gives more price certainty to the private company. The attraction for investors is that SPACs are run by some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs and former corporate executives. The SPAC process consumes a lot of your time and attention. Marketing your credentials to potential investors, gaining their trust and investment, potentially needing to raise private investment in public equity (PIPE) funds, and completing the transaction on time, and without encountering unforeseen issues, is a significant task. Especially as one eye must also be kept on preparing for life post-SPAC and those hurdles: from producing regulator compliant audited financial statements to ensuring internal controls and financial reporting, to cybersecurity and critical filings for regulator and investor review.
