Corporate Finance

 
 
 

FutureView’s Corporate Finance focuses on providing capital raising (Debt & Equity), integrated Capital markets and financial advisory services. Our clients recognize that in every single assignment, FutureView provides a premium level of talent that most firms reserve only for their biggest clients. Companies, which desire to raise funds from the capital market, may do so by issuing debt or equity through any of these forms;

Initial Public Offerings (IPOs): Applies to a company (big or small), which is raising capital from the public for the first time.  Whilst companies seeking quotation on the first tier market are required to have a minimum annual turnover of N1 billion, those seeking quotation on the second tier market must have N20 million. The companies that use this medium are;

  • Business organizations in manufacturing, telecommunications, energy and power sectors of the economy.

  • Business organizations that have been in operation for at least 5 years and have maintained a profitable track record.

  • Small and medium scale business enterprises that have been in operation for at least 3 years with maintainable profit records.
 
 
 
 


Public Offerings:
Existing companies that wish to raise additional capital from the public could do so through Public Offerings, Offer for Sale or Rights Issue.  FutureView provides this service to all publicly traded companies on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

Private Placement:
FutureView has successfully packaged the private sale of equity and long-term debts for several companies in Nigeria. Private Placement applies to first class companies, with less than 50 shareholders. They are intended for organizations and individuals with good investment experience.

Issuance of debt securities:

This involves the issuance of debt instruments to raise capital for an institution, which could be in two broad categories

  • Government Bonds: These can issued by Local, State and Federal Governments. They can either be issued as Revenue Bonds that are directly tied to the projects for which they are raised or General Obligation Bonds that are backed by the taxing power and total revenue generating capacity of the issuer.
  • Corporate Bonds: these are issued to meet the financing needs of the issuer. They can be  structured to have the following:
    • Callability/putability features
    • Convertibility options
    • Fixed or floating coupons (interest)
    • Zero coupon

The services provided by FutureView include the determination of our clients' debt capacity, identifying the optimal offer structure and evolving a marketing strategy. We believe Debt capital ensures that the earnings per share of existing shareholders are not diluted if the capital raised is effectively utilized. Debt Capital attracts regular payment of interest on the funds and a principal repayment at maturity to security holders.
We have carved a niche for ourselves as one of the leading firms in the debt securities market
