"Tax credit on IPO costs and listing process on AIM" held by Anna Lambiase, IR Top Consulting and Francesco Filippo Carpano, Presidency of the Council of Ministers, during which the III edition of the book was presented "Quotation for SMEs on AIM Italia and institutional investors" published by FrancoAngeli. Lambiase (Pmi Capital): For SMEs it is time to be listed, according to Anna Lambiase, CEO of IR Top Consulting, in her book "The listing of SMEs on AIM Italia": "The ideal candidate for IPO is a small and medium-sized company, active in sectors such as industry, technology or services, with an annual turnover of around 20 million euros and an EBITDA of over 10% on revenues. It is also important that the company has a stable shareholding structure, a good management control system, an annual growth of at least 10% and a Debt / EBITDA ratio of no more than 3. Companies that meet this basic criteria should plan their short term IPO to obtain maximum benefits at a particularly favorable moment in the stock market such as the current one. "Lambiase has suggested listing" when stock markets are receptive to new offers, the sector is growing rapidly and the company needs access to capital and public recognition to support its expansion and growth strategies both nationally and internationally. "The tax credit introduced by the Government in Finance, Lambiase continues, allows a 50% saving on IPO costs, diversification of the sources of financing and the possibility of accessing subsequent new finance with the aim of greater awareness of the opportunities for listing on AIM Italia. We have carried out an e-learning course to accompany the book, aimed at entrepreneurs and key managers of Italian SMEs, as well as chartered accountants, lawyers and market operators." Carpano (Office of the President of the Council of Ministers, Presidency of the Council of Ministers): "Pir and incentives, IPO drivers for listing of SMEs" The development of capital markets can be a way of skipping the "financial dwarfism" that characterises the Italian market. With the contraction of bank credit, SMEs were forced to find alternative sources of financing. The first Pir and the incentives to listing then are the two drivers that can now push SMEs to be listed. "This is how Francesco Filippo Carpano, Office of the President of the Council of Ministers, Presidency of the Council of Ministers commented, as part of the event "Tax credit for IPO costs and listing process on AIM" organized by Pmi Capital (IR Top Group) "The ability of venture capital to act as a propeller for the product and process innovations of our companies, the resulting qualification is an important reason for which we must look favorably on the development of market stimulators such as AIM Italia. "" Today, to free ourselves from the competition of low-wage countries and to compete with those at the frontier of technology, our SMEs are called to make a leap in quality that, through the opening of capital, gives them new vital energy to grow and develop new products and allow them to write a new page of Italian success ", concluded Carpano.
