Overview

SquareBook operates a digital, rule-based auction platform that enables companies and advisers to run equity fundraising rounds across stages, from private deals to IPOs and secondaries. The firm, incorporated in January 2017 and FCA-authorised after work in the FCA innovation hub, positions itself as an independent, conflict-free provider that brings fairness and transparency to price discovery. It reports 8 signed clients and 2 advisor partners, with more in the pipeline. SquareBook charges a typical monthly SaaS fee of £1,000 per company and collects transaction fees, typically around 1% of capital raised. The platform includes features such as a secondary market, Seedrs nominee investing (min £10) and a direct investment route (min £25,000) and targets a market the company values at $400 billion. SquareBook aims to replace manual, spreadsheet-driven capital-raising processes with a digital toolkit that gives issuers control of share pricing and access to a broader investor base.
