PrimaryBid say they build technology that connects companies with their retail investor communities and power smart retail inclusion in global capital markets. Unfortunately, PrimaryBid no longer has IPO access for retail investors as the majority of their orders were coming from Hargreaves Lansdown, AJ Bell and Interactive Investor, who offer access to IPOs themselves.

Our verdict

PrimaryBid lets you invest in IPOs, new issues and stock placings, by operating a central platform that brings these offerings directly to retail investors who have to some extent been excluded from the primary markets. The business has been involved in 100 deals to date with participation ranging between £500,000 and £10,000,000. With individual ticket or trade sizes running between £1,000 and £500,000 has accessed more than half a million retail investors to date.

Summary

A revolution for investors that want access to as many IPOs, new issues and placings as possible.
