What experts have said about AIM
1 statement · 1 positive
UK policy should encourage and support smaller AIM companies before pursuing trillion-dollar technology giants.
“I think we need to really start at the bottom and we need to start— he needs to think in the reverse. Start encouraging the smaller ones, nurturing the smaller businesses, the smaller companies on AIM, making it easier to list as well, and offering greater support, even offering greater support at the lower tax level.”
