Businesses choose to join a stock market for a variety of reasons. Whatever your reason, from attracting new investors to enabling existing investors to buy and sell shares, Sharemark provides a ready-made, cost-effective solution.

Sharemark is designed specifically to meet the needs of companies whose shares or loan stock are traded infrequently. It's simple, lightly-regulated, cost-effective and flexible. It provides shareholders with an exit route and valuation mechanism, and can be used to introduce new investors. Sharemark executes trades at a single price, overcoming the wide bid-offer spreads often associated with infrequently traded shares.

Sharemark is particularly suited to companies who want:

• to provide an exit route for existing shareholders, including employees;
• to provide an internal market;
• to value the company for taxation or estate valuation purposes;
• to raise their profile and gain experience before moving to a more senior market.
