Spark Plus

What Spark Plus does

Spark Plus is a Singapore-headquartered corporate advisory firm founded in 2016 by Omar Taheri that provides investor relations, capital raising, M&A advisory, and investor access services primarily to ASX-listed and Japanese-listed companies across the Asia-Pacific region. The firm organises non-deal roadshows, corporate access days, and group webinars; produces independent equity research through in-house analysts; and runs a principal investments book with positions in private and public assets. Its customer base spans small and mid-cap issuers concentrated in mining and commodities, biotech and healthcare, energy and renewables, and technology/fintech sectors.

The firm operates through two legal entities: Spark Plus Pte Ltd in Singapore and SP Corporate Advisory Pty Ltd in Australia, the latter functioning as a Corporate Authorised Representative of Anadara Capital Pty Ltd under AFSL 297950. Service delivery is built on WeConvene for digital roadshow management combined with Bloomberg-based outreach to institutional users, allowing the firm to convene group and private investor meetings at scale. Spark Plus is registered for the MAS Exempt Status regime in Singapore, restricting its services to wholesale clients under the Corporations Act 2001 wholesale definition.

Spark Plus generates revenue through professional services fees (corporate advisory retainers, NDR programme fees, research distribution) and transactional income from its principal investment portfolio. Distribution is direct-to-enterprise: the firm sells mandates to listed corporates and monetises investor relationships through non-deal roadshows and research coverage aimed at family offices, hedge funds, mutual funds, private banks, and brokers across APAC. The company maintains physical offices in Singapore (HQ), Perth, Sydney, and Tokyo, and operates with a lean team of 1-10 employees.
