The Alternative Market Organizer System (SPA) is a platform that is an alternative for small, medium and startup companies that need funding but do not yet meet the requirements to enter the Indonesian Stock Exchange (BEI). With SPA, companies that are not yet ready to conduct an Initial Public Offering (IPO) can still gain access to public capital on a smaller scale and with more flexible terms. This system is regulated by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) to ensure security and transparency for investors and registered companies.
The main benefit of SPA for businesses is the ease of obtaining funding for business development, expansion or product innovation. With wider access to capital, MSMEs and startups can accelerate growth and increase their competitiveness in the market. Investors who are interested in small companies that have high potential also get the opportunity to invest in the early stages of business development, although the risks are greater than investing in large companies.
The existence of SPA not only benefits business but also plays an important role in strengthening the capital market ecosystem in Indonesia. By encouraging more companies to utilize this platform, the government hopes to increase market liquidity and advance the national economy. In the future, SPA is expected to become an effective means of bringing together investors and companies with high potential, thus opening up opportunities for more inclusive economic growth.
