About Us

JP Jenkins Limited (“JPJ”) is the UK’s oldest share trading platform for private companies. We are entering our 30th year in the secondaries and unquoted space; you may even trace our roots back to the USM sector of the London Stock Exchange. Our mission is to provide an efficient process of matching willing buyers and sellers of unlisted company shares. The JPJ platform allows unquoted companies to potentially create shareholder liquidity and long-term engagement with existing and prospective investors. JPJ was a founding member of AIM and Ofex, now Aquis exchange. At JPJ, we recognise no two companies’ requirements are the same and we have developed efficient processes to provide shareholders with a dealing service and communication opportunities with a wider investor audience.

There are many ways to invest in early-stage private companies. However, there are very few ways to exit.

With no central secondary market price formation, valuations are difficult, and liquidity is very hard to find.

The private companies on our platform are from a number of different sectors and range in size, from

scale-ups to larger corporations.

Sample of companies on our platform:

Our trading facility has been used by some well-known

companies, such as:

The diagram below illustrates the JP Jenkins offering whether you

are an investor, shareholder or company:

Companies Looking To….

Reduce the cost and burden of

AIM/LSE quotation.

Engage with existing and new

shareholders.

Raise their capital markets

profile.

Provide employees with

an opportunity to buy/sell shares.

Provide company valuation required

for tax/probate purposes.

Provide private shareholders a mechanism to

buy/sell shares.

The

Benefits

There are a number of

obvious incentives and

benefits to being part of the

JPJ community and platform.

JP Jenkins is part of a bigger

secondary market ecosystem

providing a suite of

complementary services.

Companies can issue shares

to raise growth capital,

without the need to approach

private equity houses or

venture capitalists.

Minimising dilution and

preservation of ownership is

all too important.

Companies who decide for

good reason not to go public

can often find themselves at

odds with investors and

therefore, JP Jenkins

provides a key solution.

“Joining JP Jenkins allows a market for our shares to

develop and gives the company an opportunity to reach new investors which

will help drive growth”.

Shareholders/Investor

Benefits

Access to Opportunities

Private investors would like to have access to these

opportunities but there is no central venue from which to

source / assess them. With no central secondary market, price

formation valuations are difficult, and liquidity is very hard and

expensive to find.

High Growth Investments

The private marketplace has returned impressive results over

the last decade, with average annual returns surpassing that

of the public market year on year.

Shareholder liquidity & Cash Out

Many employees/investors own shares in the private

companies they work for who would like to buy more or sell but

have no mechanism for doing so. Our platform provides

shareholder liquidity and visibility via the trading of shares on

our platform.

Company Benefits

Exit Solution

Provide a de-risked proposition

where investors have peace of

mind with liquidity options.

Avoid Wide Spreads

AIM small cap share prices will

typically have a widespread as

market makers tend to run flat

books or neutral positions.

Cost Effective

Small cap companies typically

pay NOMADs and sponsoring

brokers circa £100k per year.

This is before taking into account

annual listing fees and legal

costs.

Negotiable Orders

Its far better to steer

shareholders towards a system

where the order can be

negotiated and executed on a

matched bargain basis than lose

the opportunity of a trade

altogether. There is little or no

difference in the settlement

procedure.

Admission to London trading facility

Foreign companies can reap all the benefits of having a UK trading facility without large costs and the additional burden of regulatory and listing requirements of other markets. Companies are increasingly aware of the importance of global markets and are participating in expanded investor awareness programmes in London.

Global Reach At JP Jenkins, our tech enabled platform allows investors to be matched with excellent investment opportunities all-round the globe. We facilitate a number of currencies on our Direct platform which in turn allows investors, shareholders and companies to utilise our services. We believe that being siloed into one country does not allow our investors the broad opportunities to be a part of the bigger picture, as many great budding entrepreneurs and scaling businesses emerge from Europe, US and elsewhere.

We want to change the way people invest globally.

Cross Border

Listing Some foreign companies choose to dual list on the AIM market at economically unviable costs of circa $500k with no guarantees of extra liquidity and unattractive price spreads made by market makers. An increasing number of companies have instead decided to join the oldest established J P Jenkins (JPJ) trading platform at a fraction of the costs to trade on AIM. In some cases, JPJ will invest a portion of the admission fee which can provide the initial liquidity to commence the dealing process. The admission fees are circa £10,000 for small cap companies (higher fees for larger companies). JP Jenkins does not make markets, the purchase and sale prices are matched.

Safe Pair of Hands JP Jenkins will always position your company for maximum coverage on suitable investor awareness programmes including social media, monthly newsletters and PR marketing. JPJ invites companies to take a look at its website (jpjenkins.com) and information material and contact the mangers directly if companies would like to consider a listing using this extremely cost-effective method.
