“Prospects”, a MIFID compliant Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) is a new platform set up by the Malta Stock Exchange in line with its commitment to open up new capital market opportunities, create economies of scale and to afford businesses more competitiveness and sustainability.

Previously, access to capital markets was only available to larger entities. But thank to “Prospects”, Small and Medium/sized enterprises (SME’s) are now able to raise capital and financing by issuing bonds and new shares, or selling existing shares to a large pool of investors, in a market specially design for them that adapts to their particular needs and circumstances.

For this reason, “Prospects” offer these opportunities in a simplified, cost efficient and straightforward manner. Some of the benefits of Prospects are:

• Access to increase capital and financing, through the issue of new equities and corporate bonds.
• Admission to Prospects will raise brand awareness amongst the public.
• Prepare for the issue, or sale, of equity as part of a succession planning process.
• The company may secure capital at a competitive coupon rate, in case of bonds, under more favorable conditions to other traditional methods of raising finance.
• SME’s will enjoy the benefits of good corporate governance, and the enhance efficiency and effectiveness which this brings.
• The admission of equity will create an opportunity for shareholders to exit the market efficiently in the future.
• No collateral is required to access finance on the capital market.
• Simplified requirements:
1. Business plan required (instead of a prospectus) 
2. No minimum value for an IPO, thought the MSE envisages IPOs of between €1 million and €5 million
