After a challenging year for the UK technology sector, London’s Alternative Investment Market (AIM) is showing signs of revival.
These are positioned as the largest UK tech pre-IPO fundraises since 2024, bringing renewed optimism to London’s tech IPO pipeline.
Spotlight on PayWise and Credify Group
PayWise
A payment processing firm focusing on small and medium enterprises is targeting £70 million through its IPO, backed by Zenith Capital and Shoreline Partners at a projected 12× trailing revenue multiple.
Credify Group
A consumer credit analytics platform deploying machine learning seeks £50 million, backed by Arboretum Investments and Skylark Equity at an expected 15× trailing revenue multiple.
Why This Matters to AIM and the Broader Market
The planned flotations arrive after no tech IPOs on AIM in H1 2024, marking a pivotal turnaround and signalling renewed sector confidence against Nasdaq First North competition.
A Comparison to Recent Market Challenges
Regulatory tightening and subdued growth had stalled tech listings, but these £120 million fintech floats highlight improving investor sentiment and AIM’s capacity for premium valuations.
