Embarking on the Initial Public Offering (IPO) journey and completing it successfully requires strategic planning, sound advice, and understanding and addressing the potential risks. The IPO journey is long, complicated and requires intense, long-term planning and execution to avoid the many potential challenges that come with the responsibility of transitioning to a public entity. While market timing is outside a company’s control, preparation is not.

Going public is a transformational event requiring many different parts of the business to work together towards a common goal. There is expected to be multiple work streams, from drafting the registration statement, to preparing and auditing financial information, creating a new governance structure, preparing the road show and preparing the organization for life as a public company.
