Client nameMortgage Advice Bureau (Holdings) plc
In May 2026, Mortgage Advice Bureau (Holdings) plc ("MAB") completed the transfer of its listing from AIM to the equity shares (commercial companies) category of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and admission of its shares to trading on London Stock Exchange plc’s main market.
MAB provides a specialist network solution to mortgage intermediaries, enabling them to offer mortgages, protection and insurance products to their customers. MAB believes that admission to the Official List will give it access to a broader investor base, further enhance its market profile and improve liquidity in its shares, with potential eligibility for inclusion in FTSE indices, which may increase demand from passive and index-tracking funds.
BDO acted as reporting accountant on the admission.
The BDO project team included:
Ian Cooper, Graham Elsworth, Alistair Kelsey, Darcie Fowler, Stephen Moss, Sofia Chernego, Jonathan Szoke, Michael Constantine (Deal Advisory)
David Britton and Christopher Mann (Tax).

“We were delighted with BDO’s role as reporting accountant on our successful step up from AIM to the Main Market. Their professionalism, technical knowledge, attention to detail, pragmatism and capital markets experience helped ensure a smooth and efficient process. They were a pleasure to work with throughout."
