How to invest
As with investing in a Sharemark company on the secondary market, you need to use a stockbroker to invest in a fundraising. You may choose to use The Share Centre, or another stockbroker of your choice for which individual procedures will apply.
To invest using a stockbroker other than The Share Centre please contact them directly. Should you wish to use The Share Centre to invest in a fundraising, procedures will vary according to whether you are an existing account holder or not.
- Existing Share Centre account holders
Simply log on to your online share account at www.share.com and if you are registered for the primary fundraising service your ‘My summary’ page will display a table entitled ‘Sharemark Primary Fundraising IPO opportunities’. Here you can view current fundraisings and their closing date, and follow a link to subscribe. This page will also confirm any subscriptions you have already placed.
- New Share Centre account holders
You can open an account online at The Share Centre by visiting www.share.com or by calling the Customer Service Team on 01296 41 41 41.
To ensure that you keep your existing primary fundraising service customer reference when opening an account online, log in to www.share.com before opening your account.
Once your account has been opened access your ‘My summary’ page to view current IPO opportunities.
Sharemark is designed primarily for smaller companies and investing in these companies tends to be riskier than investing in larger companies. Shares traded on Sharemark may not be suitable for every investor. If contemplating an investment you should contact an investment adviser or make your own decision as to the suitability of the investment.
