New interest in AIM flotations

A SURVEY by accountants Baker Tilly shows that the appetite is increasing among Liverpool firms to list on the stock exchange.

The city accounted for just 5% of the total money raised across the North West on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) last year.

But Baker Tilly believes the reverse takeover of Imia MitonOptimal by Liverpool’s Midas Capital Partners last month could spark renewed interest in the market across the city’s mid-corporate market.

The Taking AIM survey showed two two-thirds of the 50 growing private companies questioned, considered AIM to be at least a “fairly attractive” option.
