History
finnCap was founded in 2007 following a 50% buyout of JM Finn's corporate advisory and broking division. The buyout was completed in May 2010 when the remaining 50% of the company was acquired from JM Finn, making the company wholly independent.[3] At this time the company also changed its name from J. M. Finn Capital Markets Ltd to finnCap Ltd, in line with the company trading name.
In 2013, finnCap received regulatory clearance to begin market-making activity, and in 2014 became an FCA Sponsor for Main Market transactions.[citation needed]
In 2018 finnCap Ltd acquired Cavendish Corporate Finance LLP, a leading UK independent M&A adviser which subsequently rebranded as finnCap Cavendish, enabling the group to provide an enviable end-to-end service offering which now includes investment banking, equities, debt advisory, public M&A, private growth and alternative capital as well as significant sector expertise.
finnCap floated on AIM in December 2018 and began trading as finnCap Group Plc.[4]
