In this edition of Business Planet we’re in the Spanish city of Seville. Getting financial backing for new projects is not always an easy task for most of Europe’s 20 million SMEs, particularly for those seeking substantial capital investment. However, there is a potentially effective solution – list your company on the stock market.

Carbures Europe is a Spanish success story. In recent months this company specialising in carbon fibres and composite materials has become a world leader in its field in engineering, manufacturing and production systems.

It has just won a prize for ‘most internationally-minded newcomer’ in a competition for small and medium businesses run by the European Commission, leading European stock exchanges and public companies group, EuropeanIsseurs.

Since its stock market debut in March last year, the firm has raised 22 million euros and has grown spectacularly.

Rafael Contreras CEO of Carbures Europe said: “Before launching on the market there were 53 of us. Today we’ve a staff of 583. Our turnover was 10 million euros, now it’s 70 million.

Going public enabled this enterprise to access funds which it needed to develop extensively a double strategy of internationalisation and diversification.

The impact has been dramatic,says Contreras: We have 9 plants around the world; east and west coast in the US, in China and in Europe. Being on the stock market also expanded our technology into different sectors; automotive, aviation, railways and civil engineering.”

So, the stock market is potentially a great opportunity for development. But it is important to be aware of the benefits and other considerations.

These include handing over some control to shareholders, but there are other financial and human implications involved in going public. A SME must regularly disclose information about its operational activities, financial situation and business strategy.

Juan Juárez, the company’s chief financial officer says: “The advantages are ongoing access to capital, better exploitation of the company’s potential, more liquidity, a higher profile, and more credibility.”

If you need major capital investment to develop, and you believe this idea works for your business model, just be aware it requires a lot of preparation. So get expert advice before taking the first step.

http://www.euronews.com/2013/11/04/kenya-four-somalis-charged-with-helping-terrorists-who-attacked-westgate-
Four Somali men have been charged with helping the al-Shabaab extremists who attacked a shopping mall, killing at least 67 people.

The four are accused of supporting a terrorist group by giving shelter to the attackers in their homes in the Somali neighbourhood of Eastleigh in Nairobi as well as being in Kenya illegally.

None of them is accused of being involved in the shooting. The Kenyan army has said all four of the attackers died during the siege.

There are still few details about how the September attack on the Westgate shopping centre was masterminded or how gunmen held off Kenyan security forces for four days during the siege.

Somali Islamic militant group Al Shabaab has said it carried out the attack in retaliation for the Kenyan army being in Somalia where it is part of an African peacekeeping force.

The accused were named as Mohamed Ahmed Abdi, Liban Abdullah Omar and Hussein Hassan. A fourth was identified as Adan Mohamed Ibrahim, although he was listed as using other aliases.
