The actual flotation process will generally take three to four months from
instruction of advisers to admission. However, in practice, the interval between the
decision of the board to seek admission to AIM and admission itself is often a
great deal longer than this, since thought must be given to matters such as group
structure, corporate governance and financial controls and the putting in place of
appropriate share-based incentive schemes for the employees of the company.
Assuming that these matters are satisfactorily dealt with, the timetable for the
flotation itself will vary depending upon matters such as whether any new or
existing shares are to be offered in connection with the flotation, the offering
structure (eg placing, public offer or both), whether the offer is to be underwritten,
whether the offer is to be extended to international investors and the extent of any
pre-impact capital reorganisation which is required.

The usual cost for engaging the above advisers on a flotation, is, in aggregate, �500,000-
�900,000. As a rough guide, a company can expect to pay 10 per cent. of any money
raised in fees.
