Nasdaq Capital Market
By GORDON SCOTT, CMT
Updated Aug 7, 2019
What Is the Nasdaq Capital Market?
The Nasdaq Capital Market is one of Nasdaq's U.S. market tiers meant for early stage companies that have relatively low levels of market capitalization. Listing requirements for companies on the Nasdaq Capital Market are less stringent than for the two other Nasdaq market tiers, which focus on larger companies with higher market capitalization.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The Nasdaq Capital Market is a listing tier for companies that need to raise capital.
Companies listed here may be small companies with a need to grow capital or shell corporations designed to raise capital in public markets for the purpose of acquiring other business entities.
The Nasdaq Capital Market is one of three listing tiers on the Nasdaq exchange.
Understanding the Nasdaq Capital Market
The Nasdaq Capital Market was renamed in 2005. It was originally known as the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, reflecting its role of primarily listing small cap companies. The name change reflects a shift in focus towards listing companies that need to raise capital. It is meant to be a less encumbered entrance for smaller company or a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) to capitalize and grow through a Nasdaq listing.
Although the initial listing requirements are relaxed for companies, the corporate governance required to maintain a Nasdaq listing is the same across all tiers. This means Nasdaq Capital Market companies must have a code of conduct, an audit committee, independent directors and so on.
