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.
