IPOs (Initial Public Offerings) have become a popular way for companies to access new capital and increase liquidity. But before undertaking this type of transaction, companies need to make sure they are “IPO-ready.” That means understanding the risks, taking a close look at the economics, and ensuring all necessary steps are taken to position the company for success in the public markets. IPO readiness requires extensive preparation, from assessing legal and financial considerations to developing solid communication strategies. It’s not enough to just be ready—companies must also be prepared to deal with unpredictable events and rapidly shifting market conditions. With the right preparation, IPOs can help create long-term value and set the stage for growth.
