The Quoted Companies Alliance (QCA) represents small and mid-cap quoted companies outside the FTSE 350 including those on AIM and PLUS Markets.  The small and mid-cap quoted sector is vital to the UK economy – there are nearly 2,000 such companies, representing 85% of all quoted companies.   They employ approximately 1 million people, and every 5% growth in the sector would reduce UK unemployment by a further 50,000.  These companies also contribute significantly to government revenues, generating £560 million per annum of corporation tax payable, £3 billion per annum of income tax, £3 billion per annum of employers’ NIC and £2 billion per annum of employees’ NIC. 

We are an independent not-for-profit organisation, founded in 1992 (originally known as CISCO), and are funded by our membership.  Our membership consists of small and mid-cap quoted companies, their advisors, investors, companies seeking admission to a UK equity market and other market participants.
