SPAC/IPO Advisory
Since 2020, Torch has provided advisory services to SPACs (Special Purpose Acquisition Company), in which companies seek an alternative, efficient method of accessing the public markets. Torch advises on dual track SPAC and M&A processes, as well as working with SPACs to identify suitable targets. Torch works closely with its clients through the financial and regulatory element of the process to ensure successful execution.
Torch has advised companies on successful IPOs and follow-on offerings over the past two decades. Typically, this has been with companies Torch has worked with since early in their development. Torch advised Just Eat from its Series A up to its IPO (LSE) and Telecity on more than 10 transactions as well as its IPO (LSE). Torch works closely with clients to assess readiness and guide them through the full process. Torch also has excellent experience in sponsor-backed take-privates and public carve-outs.
