In addition, companies joining the Main Market are required to meet a number of regulatory requirements. These include the UK Listing Authority's (UKLA) Prospectus and Listing Rules and the Exchange’s own Admission and Disclosure Standards.
Winning over investors
To make the most of its quotation, a company will also need to persuade investors of its quality and prospects. This means demonstrating that the business is soundly managed, has a robust business strategy, and that it has the management skills and commitment necessary to execute it.
The advisers that the company appoints to help bring it to the Main Market – principally its sponsor, broker, accountant and lawyer – all play a part in making sure the company both satisfies the rules and regulations and also meets the market’s expectations.
