Capital Markets Advisory
Stynes Consulting has advised on numerous equity raisings and ASX listings. From prospectus preparation to post-listing compliance — complete capital markets advisory from a practitioner with real boardroom experience.
Our Approach
A structured, end-to-end process from strategy through to post-listing compliance.
Services
Full-form IPO advisory including prospectus preparation under the Corporations Act and ASIC Regulatory Guide 228. Stynes Consulting has prepared and managed the lodgement of full prospectuses for companies across a range of sectors and sizes.
The RTO pathway to ASX listing is often faster and more cost-effective than a traditional IPO for the right business. Stynes Consulting has advised on multiple backdoor listings, including structuring the transaction, managing ASX Chapter 11 compliance, and preparing required disclosure documents.
Secondary capital raisings for ASX-listed companies — from small placements under the 15% capacity through to larger institutional and retail raisings requiring shareholder approval and an offer document.
Early-stage capital raising for companies preparing for a future listing — structuring investor instruments, managing term sheet negotiations, and ensuring the capital structure is IPO-ready from day one.
Capital Instruments
IPO — Initial Public Offering
Full ASX Chapter 2 listing via prospectus. Best for companies with established revenue or significant asset base.
RTO — Reverse Takeover
Acquisition of a listed shell company to achieve ASX listing. Faster timeline, lower upfront cost for the right business.
Placement
Issue of new shares to sophisticated or institutional investors. Fast and flexible — no prospectus required within caps.
Rights Issue
Pro-rata offer to all existing shareholders. Suitable for larger raisings where broad participation is desirable.
Convertible Notes
Debt instrument that converts to equity on a future event — typically an IPO or Series A round. Popular with bridge financing.
SAFEs & Pre-IPO Notes
Simple Agreement for Future Equity — flexible, low-documentation instruments for early-stage founders raising from angels.
