AIM Listings - Processes, Compliance & Emerging Trends

Introduction

AIM (the Alternative Investment Market) is the London Stock Exchange’s international market or small and medium sized growth companies.

In order to grow, companies almost always need equity investment, and listing on AIM is an option that is worthy of consideration.

The eligibility requirements for AIM are less onerous than the LSE and it provides companies from a wide range of countries and sectors with access to a diverse range of investors.

This webinar explores why dynamic high growth companies opt for AIM (as opposed to the main market), the process for floating on AIM, and the regulatory approach adopted by the market (which is specifically tailored to the needs of growing companies).

If you have some knowledge of public equity, but little experience of AIM then this webinar is for you. There will be pragmatic hints and tips to help equip you to provide better and more commercially aware advice to your clients who are considering an AIM listing so you can help navigate them through the process.
