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
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.
