Financial advisory group Perspective Financial Group has announced its intention to float on the Alternative Investment Market to raise £28m.
These proceeds would then be used to "accelerate its core acquisition strategy" and change its capital structure to reduce interest costs.
The financial advisory group said the RDR provided Perspective with a "significant opportunity" to increase its margins through offering clients an enhanced service. It also highlighted increased demand for Financial Planning due to an ageing population and reduction in defined benefit pensions schemes.
Perspective has made 31 acquisitions since its establishment in 2008 and has £2.5bn in assets under management and 84,000 clients.
The firm's growth strategy is founded on the purchase and integration of quality, RDR-compliant businesses with high recurring income and cashflow.
It said that it has 12 more acquisitions in the pipeline and terms were agreed for six of these with three expected to be completed during August 2013.

Damian Keeling, chief executive of Perspective, said: "We set up Perspective in 2008, specifically to take advantage of the opportunities in the UK financial advisory market, resulting from the recent introduction of the RDR.
"Since inception, Perspective has continually delivered strong profitable growth driven by our core acquisition and integration strategy and as the Group builds on this momentum, an IPO is the logical next step."
"The quality of Perspective's existing business and its ability to identify, acquire and integrate high quality franchises make it a highly appealing business that is well positioned for further growth. We look forward to life as a listed Company and delivering value for our shareholders in the years to come."
Shore Capital is the nominated adviser and broker.
