In this Q&A published in SME Today, Cees Vermaas, CEO of The International Stock Exchange (TISE) and provider of TISE Private Markets, explains how the service is the first platform of its kind for UK private companies.

Within the article, Cees explains how TISE is an established operator of public markets and best known as a leading European bond market but last year, diversified with the launch of a private markets offering. 

He recalls how private companies wanted a better system for trading shares but not like trading public company shares with the expense, intermediaries and lack of control over who owns the shares.  

TISE Private Markets is a fully disintermediated platform providing unlisted companies with a dedicated marketplace through which they can directly access an integrated set of tailored electronic solutions, including trading, settlement and registry management.
