The Alternative Investment Market, commonly known as AIM, is a sub-market of the London Stock Exchange. Over the years, it has become an important part of the UK financial landscape, fostering innovation, encouraging entrepreneurship, and fueling economic growth.
AIM’s primary goal is to enable smaller, high-potential companies to raise capital by issuing shares to the public.
AIM attracts a diverse range of investors, from institutions to individuals, seeking exposure to companies with significant growth prospects.
