International Companies

AIM is the world’s most successful growth market and the international companies quoted on it benefit from being at the heart of the global finance community by having their securities quoted and traded in London. International companies come to AIM to benefit from capital-raising opportunities and raise their profile.

Smaller companies from around the world and at different stages of development are able to join AIM. As an Exchange-regulated market, AIM provides a wide range of international businesses the ability to access capital, liquidity and profile of London’s capital markets.

Currently there are over 500 AIM companies with the majority of their operations outside the UK in over 100 countries. This strong international representation reflects the fact that AIM is an ideal public market for growing and entrepreneurial international businesses seeking to expand and raise their global profile.
