Aquis Exchange PLC ready to shake up small company fundraising says Alasdair Haynes

Alasdair Haynes, Aquis Exchange PLC’s (LON:AQX) chief executive says it will use the success it has achieved in secondary markets to shake up how small caps get funding in future. Primary markets need to change, he says, and based on a mantra of technology, transparency and innovation, Aquis will spearhead this, he told Proactive. Small companies want capital to grow while investors want information, strong governance and clear transparency. That’s what we intend to give them (both), he adds. The model is that of a mobile phone, subscription-based service and ultimately there is no reason why anyone using a mobile phone can’t buy any asset anywhere in the world.
