BestPrice sees Mab listing as a solution for growth
Óscar Sánchez, founder of the hotel chain Bestprice, is convinced that his is "a project with a lot of potential, but that it needs financing to grow". Among the different possibilities for growth, he has opted for the IPO, as he expects this operation to have a "multiplier effect".
In other words, in addition to receiving the backing of investors, it should also gain a useful reputation for managing agreements with customers, suppliers, financial institutions and other companies.
Although he knows that the Mab listing may entail a possible loss of control and external supervision by the new shareholders, he also sees the positive side and says that "it will be a stimulus to become more disciplined and self-demanding".
The MAB, an unexploited alternative financing for SMEs
The MAB in Spain is still little known and only 34 companies have decided to take the plunge into this form of financing, which has so much potential. In countries such as Great Britain, the AIM, the equivalent of the British MAB, has more than 1,000 companies.
Among the advantages of going public on the MAB is the ability to obtain immediate liquidity for to carry out growth plans, to optimise financing costs and liability restructuring or as a means of R&D financing.
The MAB, due to its requirement for transparency, also improves the company's image with investors, facilitating alliances and M&A operations.
In addition, listing on the Mab allows for an objective valuation of the company as its shares are traded on a market that is regulated by supply and demand.
