The AIM is, indeed, first market where is not found to be declining IPO. listing does affect leverage firms, but gives opportunity raise fresh funds, both at time initial offering and through further (debt or equity) capital raisings. Conversely, permanent decrease in characterizes flotation this a mean rebalance firms' structure.
