At the end of 2015, 9 companies in the expansion phase have debuted this year on the MAB, with a revenue of close to €100M. This represents an increase in the number of MAB companies of 30% compared to the end of 2014 and shows signs of optimism for 2016, in which companies such as BestPrice have already shown their interest in listing on the MAB.

 

Tecnoquark goes public on the MAB to achieve international growth

The latest company to go public on the MAB is Tecnoquarkwhich is dedicated to the manufacture of automotive and aeronautical dies and intends to raise financing on the stock market with two objectives: to invest in machinery that will allow it to produce components for the aeronautical sector and to create a subsidiary in China to manufacture tooling for the automotive sector.

Tecnoquark is finalising a joint venture agreement with a local Chinese company to manufacture tooling for the production oftion of the automotive, in order to reach Asian customers.

It is also taking steps to buy a French company approved and certified to supply the aeronautics industry.

"Tecnoquark also bought the small Catalan engineering company Ingeenious, dedicated to computer simulation engineering before going public on the MAB" says Diego Gutierrez from Abra-Invest.

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.
