IPO Journey
IPO/Exit Strategy
(T-24 months)
Are you clear as to the potential exit route and do you want to retain optionality for more than one market and/or a potential private sale? You need to be confident it’s the right strategy for funding the next stage in your organisation’s development. You will also need to consider whether your organisation is prepared to accept the additional disciplines and requirements that come with being a public company (assuming IPO), and if so, which market will provide the best valuation and access to capital at the right time. Our Capital Markets team will navigate you through the strategic decisions you need to make at the outset.
IPO Readiness —
Assessment and Preparation
(T-20 months)
It's easy to underestimate the effort required to prepare your business for life as a public company. Our team will help you thoroughly assess where your company stands and what the key gaps are, so that you can dedicate your time to where it's needed most. Our IPO/Exit Readiness assessment uses a holistic framework to take an in-depth look at your organisation and its processes, systems, and overall preparedness to operate as a public company. We leverage our experience to then plot the gaps identified during the assessment alongside your IPO timeline to develop a roadmap to the capital market that is tailored to your needs and goals.
IPO execution
(T-6/12 months)
IPO execution involves transaction diligence, as well as the preparation of the required documentation for submission to the regulator and prospective investors. The process involves carefully orchestrating multiple workstreams, including marketing, legal, accounting, tax and prospectus preparation. This will need to be managed in addition to running your business as usual, which becomes even more important in the lead up to the IPO.
Post IPO - Success as a public company
(T+ months)
Your IPO is just the beginning. Once listed, your company will be under far greater public and regulatory scrutiny than ever before, with a wider universe of stakeholders, associated risks and obligations to manage. You will need to ensure that you have robust processes and procedures in place to fulfil your obligations as a public company. You will also need to manage potential risks to protect your company’s reputation, safeguard your credibility and retain investor confidence. We can continue to support you post IPO on a wide range of public company matters as well as in future transactions.
Our experienced capital market specialists will answer all your structural, operational and regulatory questions, identify potential stumbling blocks and work with you to design a detailed plan for your individual path to the capital markets. We accompany you through the entire transformation process—from the initial strategic considerations, readiness assessment and early preparations, through the intensive phase of transaction execution and into life as a public company. Our clients value our individual and objective advice. We are at your disposal with the full range of experts to tackle challenges that are personal to you and your business.
