K3 Capital Group successfully raises US$22.5 million via an IPO on AIM

K3 Capital Group plc has completed an IPO on AIM.

K3 Capital Group is a leading business sale and brokerage firm and tax credit advisor, headquartered in Bolton with operations throughout the UK. It acts for businesses across a wide range of enterprise values through its subsidiaries Knightsbridge, KBS Corporate and KBS Corporate Finance. The group has received several advisor awards, most recently achieving the number one position in the 2019 Refinitiv Mid-Market M&A Review. K3 Capital Group operates a disruptive business model with a direct marketing approach to client acquisition, using incentivized and experienced salespeople rather than advisory teams, while its highly visible online presence and proprietary online business valuation portal generates further leads. The group’s medium-term strategy is to build a wider group of growing and complementary professional services businesses to provide UK SMEs with high quality advice across specialist disciplines.

Oaklins Cavendish’s sister firm finnCap, based in the UK, in its role as IPO advisor, assisted K3 Capital’s management team and shareholders all the way from the start to the successful completion of the IPO. During this process, the team initiated and advised on many aspects, including, among others, securing pre-commitments from cornerstone investors, deal structuring, and the IPO pricing and sizing.
