What is an Intention to Float (ITF)?

ITF stands for an ‘Intention To Float’ announcement. This announcement is made by the company when it is confident that it will proceed with the offering of shares. The publication of the ITF also typically starts the public marketing phase of the IPO. The ITF includes key information pertaining to the company and the IPO, and will also be made available to SyndicateRoom members as part of the company’s marketing materials. The Prospectus is typically published two weeks after the ITF is announced.

Investing in early-stage businesses involves risks, including illiquidity, lack of dividends, loss of investment and dilution, and it should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Tax relief depends on an individual’s circumstances and may change in the future. In addition, the availability of tax relief depends on the company invested in maintaining its qualifying status. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. You should not rely on any past performance as a guarantee of future investment performance.
