JOS has leaning towards a listing

Jardine Onesolution (JOS) has not ruled out tapping the equity market to fund expansion.

Chief executive Steve Lo said Jardine Matheson's information-technology arm could acquire adequate funding, but 'a listing would help build the right corporate spending structure'.

'With the new plans and development in mind we will need capital,' he said.

A listing for JOS - formerly Jardine Office Systems - would help it attract new business and retain quality staff.

Mr Lo said the company had not set a timetable or selected a board for a potential listing.

The re-branded JOS is designed to distance the company from its old office equipment supplier image.
