Turning a privately owned business into a publicly traded company through an Initial Public Offering (IPO) is a systematic and rigorous process that requires the joint efforts of skilled business and investment banking professionals.

Spectrum can initiate the process with the necessary investment relations firms, research firms, legal and accounting as well as additional market makers to open up this potentially lucrative transformation.

In recognition of the importance of banking and underwriting backgrounds required for a successful IPO, Spectrum can facilitate the more comprehensive investment banking services including; appropriate advisory services, corporate finance, securities transactions, trading, syndication, mergers & acquisitions, reverse mergers, PIPEs, merchant banking, and the knowledge and relationships to attract the necessary research coverage.

The leading strength of an investment banking firm is its ability to sponsor a public company in the market place and provide them with extensive exposure through brokers, a broker clearing network, other investment banking firms, market makers and various industry affiliations (including U.S. organisations such as The National Investment Bankers Association (“NIBA”) and The Financial Services Exchange (“FSX”) etc.

In addition to executing trades we may elect to use the services of other outside market makers. Trading can be conducted primarily with other dealers in the wholesale market. Services are directed to the needs of firms listed and trading as Small-Cap NASDAQ, AMEX, Bulletin Board and Pink Sheets needing liquidity sources, stock price support and order management.

As an effective market maker, the traders strive to ensure orderly markets, tight spreads, liquidity and proprietary support; all the while providing the company with a source for efficient, accurate and timely executions.
