New Issues

If you would like to view some of our recent IPOs, please go to current activities.

A key element of Blomfield's services is our ability to enable companies to access the equity and debt finance they need to fund growth. We have played a leading role in successful flotations on the UK Listing Authority’s Full List, the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange and on Ofex. We can also arrange pre IPO finance for clients.

We do not stop our involvement when we float our clients; we expect to continue to advise them into the future, assisting them in their development, as further capital for growth is required.

Blomfield has built up a good reputation over the years through careful selection of the companies and the management teams it supports.
