1. Creates a market valuation for the business and enables the opportunity to raise capital for expansion, as well as the possibility of realising some of your investment.

2. Provides access to an acquisition currency and transparency around the value of the business.Listed companies often use their shares, as opposed to cash, to make acquisitions. This can be particularly useful when implementing a buy-and-build strategy when cash can be better utilised in other areas. “If you’ve got an objective valuation for your shares, a target company is going to know exactly what they’re getting if you offer them shares in your business,”

3. Encourages employee commitment by rewarding them with something of clear value.When there’s no objective market valuation or ability to buy or sell shares, as is normally the case in a private company, it can be difficult for employees with shares or options to understand the value that they have been given. On the other hand, employees of listed companies who are given shares or options can see exactly what they are worth.

4. Creates a heightened public profile and improves the ability to attract high calibre board members.

5. Improves supplier, investor and customer confidence and improves your standing in the marketplace. This can help enormously if you’re trying to build a global business. Listed companies have to go through a rigorous due diligence process before they can join the AIM market. The checks and balances that are carried out can lead to increased confidence, resulting in better supplier credit terms, better relationships with customers and higher valuations from investors.

Advantages for a Company Having Listed Stock
In addition to the prestige a company gets when their stock is listed on a stock exchange, other advantages for the company include:

Being able to raise additional funds through the issuance of more stock

Companies can offer securities in the acquisition of other companies

Stock and stock options programs can be offered to potential employees, making the company attractive to top talent

Companies have additional leverage when obtaining loans from financial institutions

Market exposure – having a company’s stock listed on an exchange could attract the attention of mutual and hedge funds, market makers and institutional traders

Indirect advertising – the filing and registration fee for most major exchanges includes a form of complimentary advertising. The company’s stock will be associated with the exchange their stock is traded on

Brand equity – having a listing on a stock exchange also affords the company increased credibility with the public, having the company indirectly endorsed through having their stock traded on the exchange.
