AIQ

What AIQ does

AIQ Limited is a Cayman Islands-incorporated, London Stock Exchange Main Market-listed company (ticker AIQ) that operates as a small-scale IT consultancy and advisory holding entity, with a stated mission of acquiring e-commerce businesses, assets, and projects whose embedded value can be unlocked through strategic and operational improvements, particularly those with data mining and AI capabilities. The company's operating footprint centres on two channels: Alcodes International, a wholly-owned IT consultancy subsidiary acting as project manager to deliver customer IT requirements spanning app/platform development, metaverse, AI, and blockchain projects; and AIQ Vision, a strategic partnership with Centslink focused on upgrading mid-sized data centres for AI factory demands through advanced engineering, sustainable energy, and AI-driven operations. Its first and only disclosed acquisition is Alchemist Codes Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian software developer carrying an AI-powered online shopping platform, completed via reverse takeover in March 2020.

Commercially, AIQ generates revenue through professional services — IT consultancy, advisory, and project management engagements — supplemented by its e-commerce acquisition strategy. Reported annual revenue is in the low hundreds of thousands of dollars (or zero in the most recent disclosed year), and the company has run operating losses every year, funding working capital through a USD 100,000 interest-free related-party loan in July 2024 and a £125,000 convertible loan note drawn under a facility with China International Securities Ltd in July 2026. Headcount is stated at 51–100, although revenue per employee is effectively negligible under recent disclosures. Two named directors — Aditya Chathli (Non-Executive Chairman, a capital markets and financial PR specialist) and Li Chun Chung (Executive Director, a Certified Financial Planner advising e-commerce and digital businesses in Australia and China) — run the company, with no controlling shareholder identified.

From a technology standpoint, AIQ does not publish proprietary AI research or patented technology; its AI capability is concentrated in the Alchemist Codes online shopping platform and in the framing of AIQ Vision's data centre transformation offering. The company self-attests GDPR compliance for personal data handling. Given the absence of named enterprise customers, recurring revenue contracts, or scale indicators, AIQ presently resembles a sub-scale listed shell with intermittent project-based consultancy revenue and an active M&A thesis rather than a going-concern operating business at material scale.
