IPO Advisory

Initial Public Offering (IPO) is one of the most important steps in the life and growth of a company. This milestone signifies a transition of an organization from the private to public domain.

Some of the key considerations for a company to embark on an IPO include:

Raising cash

raise cash for company’s growth needs and realization of investment for shareholders
provide alternative access for capital raising from the public market

Increasing profile and reputation

raise industry leadership profile with customers, vendors, competitors and financiers (better access and lower cost)
shareholders and employees proud of being part of a well-known publicly listed organisation

Achieving alignment of interests

reward and align interests of management and employees to interest of shareholders
attract and retain good talents

Gaining transaction currency and tax benefit

liquid listed shares as extra currency for potential corporate actions (e.g. M&A, financing, etc.)
tax efficiency driven by regulatory support providing financial benefits to company

Our experience and observation are that many companies may naively enter an IPO journey without properly understanding the process and various implications.
