IPO Services
Taking a client company public from a private status is a major life changing and a strategic business decision that truly transforms the way a company is structured, managed and or is operating. This cannot be taken lightly and is a very demanding process in terms of time and resources. This can take the route of an IPO in the form of a main market and or growth market listing, a secondary and or SPAC listings. This process is also very popular for tech start ups, their founders/ VC’s exit strategies.
Hence it is imperative that the company management needs to take up the project after proper planning and objectively assess their preparedness for a public listing, especially w.r.t their finance, IT, legal and compliance functions. This process generally takes around 1-2 years depending upon the degree of preparedness, size and complexity of the business. Going to public financial markets requires clients to be prepared to meet shareholder and market expectations from day one of listing and be subject to intense financial and commercial scrutiny. This process includes addressing ongoing compliance and regulatory requirements, operational effectiveness, financial controls, risk management, periodic reporting and managing the investor relations effectively, with support of qualified, industry experts, and financial advisers.
