Sponsor

As an independent merchant bank, our advice is fully aligned with the best interests of our
clients. We provide objective, unconflicted guidance across both regulatory and financial
matters.

Our Sponsor services are characterised by high levels of engagement and a deep understanding
of our clients’ businesses. We work closely with management teams and other stakeholders to
ensure that all aspects of a transaction are managed efficiently, professionally and in
compliance with listing regulations. Our status as Sponsor means that we have strong
relationships and rights of audience with the Financial Conduct Authority and other regulators
and can act as a conduit on behalf of our clients, managing transactions pragmatically and
seamlessly.

We have extensive experience supporting companies across a broad range of sectors and
geographies, particularly those operating in emerging and frontier markets. This positions us
well to advise on the complexities and nuances of Main Market transactions, especially for
clients with international operations or non-standard business models.

Whether supporting a company through its IPO process or advising on complex regulatory
events post-admission, Strand Hanson’s approach is always focused on delivering long-term
value through clear, practical, and proactive advice.
