Corporate Advisory
Listing on Bursa Malaysia, or buying or selling a business, is a defining moment for any owner. We help SMEs and family-owned businesses prepare for an IPO, then act as their in-house financial adviser through the listing, working alongside the investment bank, lawyers, and other advisers.
We also advise buyers and sellers on mergers and acquisitions, from the first valuation through to completion and integration.

Support through the IPO journey
We work closely with every adviser involved in your listing:

- Due diligence lawyers, on legal and regulatory compliance.
- Independent market researchers, on the industry overview in your prospectus.
- Issuing houses and share registrars, on share issuance and subscriptions.
- Company secretaries, on compliance with the listing requirements.
Throughout the process, we act as your in-house financial adviser: guiding your accounting and tax position, keeping the timetable on track, and making sure the numbers are consistent across every document.
After listing, many clients keep us on as corporate advisers for ongoing compliance, financial strategy, and corporate exercises that build shareholder value.
