Stock Exchange
Hunt on for firms to join stock exchange
Finance specialists are currently searching for businesses in the Thames Valley that they can take to a new independent stock exchange.
Sponsors of Thames Valley Investment Network, Maxim Corporate Finance LLP, have succeeded in obtaining the licence to take companies in the Thames Valley to the recent created Plus stock exchange.
Bhodi Sunth and Mehrtash A’zami (Maxim LLP partners) are currently searching for up and coming firms (in particular those involved in technology and new environmental projects) which are looking for growth and finance.
Established businesses that are looking to expand have the opportunity to raise noteworthy funds by subscribing to Plus while avoiding losing control to venture capitalists. Maxim Corporate Finance LLP looks to be a great way to get improved profile and integrity in the marketplace.
The London Stock Exchange (LSE) seems to be currently suited to larger businesses due to its harsh entry criteria and towering costs. AIM, (set up as a feeder stock exchange for the LSE) seems to be proving tougher for SMEs to integrate into due to this and as a result costs have grown with its popularity.
Entry costs for Plus are around £150,000, (AIM and the LSE were likely to be upwards of £500,000, rising to over £1m). The membership costs for Plus is lower with benefits from many tax advantages.
In 2007 over 50 companies joined Plus, with now makes over 220 listed on it. (The largest of them is Arsenal FC which is worth £650m).
It just remains for Maxim LLP to show the Thames Valley what Plus can do for SMEs that want to reach the next stage.
