London always has and continues to be a popular destination for overseas companies. Listing in London provides access to the largest capital market in Europe with a deep pool of liquidity and international investors, providing the ability to raise a company’s corporate profile internationally.
In recent years, the number of companies from North America that have obtained a listing in London has increased, with the U.S. and Canada being the largest source of international equity listings in London with over 90 listings since 2017. Listing in London comes with a host of advantages to U.S. companies, one of the most interesting for U.S. companies being that you don’t need to be a ‘unicorn’ to list in London.
