ABOUT US
Since our incorporation in 1996 and the early days of the Ofex market, Alfred Henry Corporate Finance has advised companies on the admission process and the listing requirements, described the advantages and disadvantages of an IPO and, if appropriate, suggested other routes for growth. We will co-ordinate the admission, provide advice on timing and strategy and ensure all the advisors working on the transaction are doing so in a cost-effective and timely fashion.
Alfred Henry Corporate Finance’s growth has allowed us to expand our offering to include listing companies on the London Stock Exchange, AQSE (formerly NEX), the Cyprus Stock Exchange and the Irish Stock Exchange.
Once admitted, we continue to provide support and advice and stay in regular contact with our clients. This helps us to maintain an understanding of the business, allowing us to provide a quality service and appropriate guidance with respect to the regulatory environment.
