The matched bargain trading platform JPJenkins is reporting increased demand from new entities, including those that have raised finance from crowd funders, pre-IPOs and expired EIS situations.
The platform can trace its roots back to the Unlisted Securities Market (USM) which was part of the London Stock Exchange prior to being replaced by AIM and other junior markets.
Started 25 years ago, the platform was established to provide an exit liquidity solution for many companies which did not want to seek a public flotation. It has been used by the likes of Weetabix, NCP and Adnans. It has also proved popular with a number of football clubs including Arsenal, West Ham, Man City and Liverpool FC, with fans using the platform to buy and sell shares.
The company says it has been ‘unlocking the unlisted’ for many years now and has gained unrivalled expertise in the general unquoted private company sector. It can also offer continued dealing facilities plus visibility for example in companies that have delisted from other Exchanges such as LSE and AIM.
