Offering businesses a dip into London's deep investor pool, but with a light regulatory burden, AIM had lured 1,700 companies from more than 30 countries at its peak in late 2007. That figure now stands at 1,500 and shrinking. Among firms valued at less than $7.5 million - almost 40% of all companies listed on AIM - "there's quite a strong feeling that if things aren't going to improve in the near future, they're minded to look at coming...
