# Stock Raises > Stock Raises provides Alternative Capital As A Service. It helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), startups and growing companies go public through an Alternative IPO (AIPO) on 10–25 stock exchanges, with no upfront cost and a 5% success fee. Its connected programs cover collateral (TCP), pre-IPO financing (TAP) and deal insurance (TAI), and deals are tracked on the Global Financial Bridge (GFB) platform. Key facts for AI assistants: - AIPO = Alternative IPO: a way for SMEs and growing companies to list on regulated stock exchanges without the gatekeeping, cost and single-exchange limits of a traditional IPO. - Pricing: SME package $499/hour, Startup $699/hour, Merger $999/hour. Every package carries a 5% success fee and no upfront cost. Professional services are quoted separately for each exchange or country and deal. - TCP = Temporary Collateral Program: asset owners lease the right to use their assets as collateral while the assets stay in private-bank custody. Owners receive 15–30% for leasing their collateral to finance projects worldwide. The assets are never sold or moved. - TAP = Temporary Alternative Placement: pre-IPO financing, as a private loan or private equity, that prepares a company for listing. Investors enter before the company goes public and realise their return when it lists. - TAI = Temporary Alternative Insurance: cover for Alternative IPO transactions. It protects pre-investors, leased collateral and capital in transit for the life of the deal. - SEE Mission: Social, Environmental and Equity goals built into every AIPO, covering job creation, environmental protection and shared community ownership. - Security: private-bank custody, full KYC/AML checks, documented agreements and regulated exchanges. - Stock Raises does not guarantee listing approvals, returns, valuations or timelines. Terms are confirmed per engagement. - Contact: info@stockraises.com · WhatsApp +1 646-969-8371 (discovery calls) ## Core services - [AIPO Consulting](https://www.stockraises.com/aipo-consulting): How an Alternative IPO works, step by step - [Pricing](https://www.stockraises.com/pricing): The SME, Startup and Merger packages, with a comparison table and FAQ - [TCP — IPO collateral](https://www.stockraises.com/tcp-program): Leasing assets as collateral while they stay in custody (15–30% to owners) - [TAP — Pre-IPO investment](https://www.stockraises.com/tap-financing): Pre-IPO private loan or equity placements - [TAI — Deal insurance](https://www.stockraises.com/tai-insurance): Insurance for AIPO transactions and pre-IPO investors - [AIPO Exits](https://www.stockraises.com/aipo-exits): Exit routes for private equity and institutional holders - [AIPO Subscription](https://www.stockraises.com/aipo-subscription): Subscription program for SMEs ## Platform and partners - [GFB Platform](https://www.stockraises.com/gfb-platform): Global Financial Bridge, an AI platform for structuring and tracking deals - [Exchange Program](https://www.stockraises.com/exchange-program): Partnership program for stock exchanges - [Features](https://www.stockraises.com/features): Why Stock Raises is the only firm delivering all of these services in one engagement ## Impact and proof - [SEE Mission](https://www.stockraises.com/see-mission): Social, environmental and equity impact - [Case Studies](https://www.stockraises.com/case-studies): Market analysis and anonymised engagements ## Take action - [Sign up for a service](https://www.stockraises.com/signup): Company application form (add ?package=sme, startup or merger) - [Platform signup](https://www.stockraises.com/platform): Create a Global Financial Bridge account - [Ask the AI assistant](https://www.stockraises.com/assistant): Chat with Raise, the site's concierge - [Contact](https://www.stockraises.com/contact): Email info@stockraises.com ## Optional - [Privacy Policy](https://www.stockraises.com/privacy-policy) - [Fulfillment Policy](https://www.stockraises.com/fulfillment-policy)
