The UK has arguably the most diverse range of equity capital markets in the world, catering for companies both large and small and at each stage of their growth cycle. London is therefore difficult to ignore as an option for companies considering raising funds via the markets, or seeking admission for other reasons consistent with its strategy.

However this choice of markets also means it is often difficult for companies to assess which market might be best suited to their needs.

Baker Tilly’s 2011 Pathway to the UK Equity Markets provides a comprehensive summary of what is required for each market from eligibility to continuing obligations and is designed to assist companies in making this assessment.

In particular it includes useful tables comparing the criteria for each market side by side which companies can use to compare their own current circumstances and develop an initial feel for what is ready and what might need to be prepared.
