Equity Capital Markets

The three main UK markets available to meet individual company requirements for becoming a public company are the Main Market (both Primary and Standard Listings), AIM and NEX Exchange (formerly ISDX).  The transition from a private to a public company is a transformational event in a company’s life cycle but it has significant benefits. It can provide capital to allow a business to grow and achieve its strategic objectives, plus it can provide an exit route for the current owners of the business, as well as enhancing the credibility and profile of the business.
