Services

I offer contract consultancy services as:

• Non-executive Director,
• Contract Company Secretary, and
• Corporate & Financial Services

Clients include:

• ASX Listed Companies,
• Public & private (unlisted) companies, 
• "Start-up", "Emerging" "Growth" and/or "SME" companies, and
• Local subsidiaries of overseas companies.

I have particular expertise in managing the due diligence process for a financial transaction, including:

• the IPO of a company on the ASX,

• a "backdoor listing", whereby a listing is achieved by backing a business into an existing "listed shell",

• a rights issue, share placement or other security issue by an existing listed company, and/or

• a merger, takeover or acquisition.

It is a well known fact that the capital raising process can be very distracting for both Board and management, so it makes sense to effectively "outsource" the management of the capital raising process to someone with the necessary time, skills and experience and allow management to concentrate on managing the core business of the company.

My experience in efficiently managing such processes will often result in considerable savings on the expense of lawyers, accountants, experts, etc, and help achieve the desired outcome in a shorter period of time.

Please see the article entitled The IPO Due Diligence Process in the May 2002 magazine of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
