FutureView’s Corporate Finance Unit focuses on providing Capital Raising (Debt & Equity),Integrated Capital Markets and Financial Advisory Services. Our clients recognize that in every single assignment, FutureView provides a premium level of talent that most firms reserve only for their biggest clients. Companies and Government Agencies who desire to raise funds from the capital market, may do so by issuing debt or equity through any of the following forms:
Initial Public Offerings (IPOs)
Applies to a company (big or small), which is raising capital from the public for the first time.Whilst companies seeking quotation on the first tier market are required to have a minimum annual turnover of N1 billion, those seeking quotation on the second tier market must have N20 million.
The companies that use this medium are:
• Business organizations in manufacturing, telecommunications, energy and power sectors of the economy
• Business organizations that have been in operation for at least 5 years and have maintained a profitable track record.
• Small and medium scale business enterprises that have been in operation for at least 3 years with maintainable profit records.
Existing companies that wish to raise additional capital from the public could do so through Public Offerings, Offer for Sale or Rights Issue. FutureView provides this service to all publicly traded companies on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
FutureView has successfully packaged the private sale of equity and long-term debts for several companies in Nigeria. Private Placement applies to first class companies, with less than 50 shareholders. They are intended for organizations and individuals with good investment experience.
Issuance of Debt Securities
This involves the issuance of debt instruments to raise capital for an institution, which could be in two broad categories.
Government and Corporate Bonds
These can be issued by Local, State and Federal Governments. They can either be issued as Revenue Bonds that are directly tied to the projects for which they are raised or General Obligation Bonds that are backed by the taxing power and total revenue generating capacity of the issuer. Corporate bonds are issued by companies in need of funds for their daily activities.
