Welcome to AIMnewRules.com

The compliance website service for AIM Companies

Under the new AIM Rules for Companies, which came into force in February 2007, AIM Rule 26 now requires all AIM companies to make key company information available on a website. 

AIMnewRules.com is a comprehensive website service, developed specifically to meet the requirements of AIM Rule 26.  This includes:

  • initial set-up of Company disclosure details
  • on-going management of the information to make sure it is kept up-to-date and compliant
  • annual ‘health check’ to assist continued compliance of latest company publications.

AIMnewRules.com provides a cost-effective solution for AIM companies to comply without any website development or on-going data management.  As no development is involved, implementation is quick and easy.

 

Where companies have an existing company website, this links directly with their AIM Rule 26 web pages – providing  an integrated feel but still meeting  the Rule 26 requirement of easy access from one part of the company website.  

 

If companies do not already have a website, we offer domain registration and link the company’s own website name directly to their AIM Rule 26 website.
