This company represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully structured, legally vetted, and regulator-aligned private market platform that delivers exchange-like functionality without requiring an Exchange licence under the Financial Markets Act.

- Primary capital raising
- Secondary trading
- Liquidity, exit, and price discovery
- Receipt of client funds under FAIS

For a buyer, this removes years of legal uncertainty and regulatory iteration
5. Why This Regulatory Structure Is Rare
