London’s Alternative Investment Market (AIM), which describes itself as “the most successful growth market in the world”, was developed to meet the needs of smaller companies. A flexible approach to regulation and a streamlined admission process have made it the ideal market for small growing companies seeking to develop their businesses in a supportive environment.
In recent years, AIM has attracted large numbers of foreign trading groups seeking access to London’s capital markets. These organisations will often choose to list through a company incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction because it brings all of the benefits of a listing on AIM with additional tax advantages and increased flexibility in terms of company law.
