About Us
JP Jenkins is the UK's leading marketplace for the trading of shares in private companies.
Who We Are
For over 30 years, we've helped growth-stage businesses, family-owned firms and venture-backed companies offer shareholders a fair, transparent way to buy and sell shares — all while remaining private.
Our FCA-regulated market is powered by our proprietary InfinitX technology, including an exchange-grade matching engine and connectivity to over 60 brokers, wealth managers and custodians.
How It Works
Investors place orders through their usual brokers. Trades execute on our regulated venue. Settlement flows through CREST — the result is a safe, orderly market for private-company trading.
Our Trading Models
Today, JP Jenkins offers two models of liquidity
Matched Bargain Facility (MBF)
Matched-Bargain Facility trading for earlier-stage companies where willing buyers are matched with willing sellers.
