They need more pictures and interactive visualisations of the products they can offer on their website. It has a lot of hip, trendy, phrases, keywords and jargon in text but no actual visual show / demo / video etc of what the products are or what they do.
Their website designers gave them a layout but it needs more unique content, pretty generic at the moment.
Upcoming news that could materially move the share price;
Launch of a platform for a multinational value-add technology distributor – the rollout is scheduled for Asia Pacific
and Europe in 2019.
Maestrano also commenced the implementation phase of a contract with a high-profile Australian bank for testing and pilot phases of a solution for its small and medium business customer base, initially targeted at the legal industry segment. This implementation work is scheduled to be completed during the second half of this financial year, with subscriber revenues expected to commence during the next financial year.
Value accretive acquisition pending
Nearest competitor 9spokes who are more established are showing there is clear demand in the market for the services offered by Maestrano;
“User adoption, engagement and feedback has been very pleasing and are well ahead of any first-month metrics seen to date on a 9 Spokes white- label deployment.”

Let’s say for arguments sake they acquire a small company for £1m to be satisfied 50/50 in cash and shares. With a current market cap of just £1.2m any kind of acquisition would add value to the share price. In fact I can’t remember an example of an AIM company completing an acquisition when valued at less than cash?
And I would expect it to complete pretty quickly given they’ve already announced that a term sheet has been agreed - most likely the valuation has been decided and they will want to complete it asap.
No doubt this is high risk, but it could genuinely be a ten bagger if they announce some unexpected good news!
No selling after mid morning, so a bit of stability with most buyers holding their shares for the next leg higher!
Can Issue Shares,
Can buy with shares and some cash,
can buy a majority (say 80%) then the current owners sit back and take dividends / royalties without partaking In further investments in the company,
can buy a % with terms to increase at x points along the way at x price.
Plenty of incentives when they can offer shareholder funds or equity to them.
Cash buy outs are easiest but there are always other options.
Without sounding naive I can’t see how we can acquire another without funds, plus, I can’t see it adding value for a number of months/years until sales revenue is in hand. This is looking bottom draw long term hold
Can’t see how the acquisition will lift the SP short term, that said they will probably close it fairly quickly given need to since last client completes their contract end of September so I fully expect a deal prior to this imo
Thanks for your info,exciting times ahead
