A disciplined path from private to public.
Every engagement follows a structured, five-phase process — adapted to each company's transaction objectives, sector, and regulatory considerations. The sequence may be modified based on engagement complexity and commercial requirements.
Introductory Meeting & Assessment
We begin with an introductory meeting to understand the company's business, objectives, and transaction timeline. The company completes standard know-your-client procedures and submits preliminary corporate information, which FMP uses to prepare a Preliminary Capital Markets Assessment of transaction readiness.
- Introductory meeting and objective-setting
- Know-your-client procedures
- Preliminary corporate information request
- Preliminary Capital Markets Assessment
Confidentiality & Engagement
Once both parties are ready to proceed, we establish confidentiality through a mutual non-disclosure agreement, present a term sheet outlining proposed scope and commercial terms, and formalize the relationship through an FMP Engagement Letter — and, where applicable, a legal engagement letter with the company's counsel.
- Mutual non-disclosure agreement
- Engagement term sheet
- FMP Engagement Letter
- Legal engagement letter (where applicable)
Institutional Assessment
With the engagement formalized, we conduct a detailed business, financial, legal, and capital markets assessment — reviewing corporate structure, financials, material contracts, and capital markets history to establish a complete diligence picture.
- Business and financial due diligence
- Legal and corporate structure review
- Capital markets history assessment
- Institutional Capital Markets Assessment Report
Strategy & Planning
We develop a recommended transaction strategy and implementation roadmap, establish the project governance structure, and confirm the framework the company and FMP will use to manage the engagement through execution.
- Transaction Strategy Memorandum
- Engagement Framework & Project Plan
- Project governance structure
- Commercial documentation (where applicable)
Execution
We prepare the implementation plan for the transaction — a detailed timeline, a roles-and-responsibilities matrix across all professional advisors, corporate structure recommendations, and a regulatory and capital markets roadmap — and coordinate execution through to completion.
- Transaction timeline
- Roles & Responsibilities Matrix
- Corporate structure recommendations
- Regulatory & capital markets roadmap
This is FMP's default engagement path. The sequence may be adapted based on transaction complexity, sector-specific regulatory considerations, and commercial requirements determined jointly with the client at the outset of the engagement.
