IPO Guidance
An initial public offering refers to the process of offering shares of a private corporation to the public in a new stock issuance. Public share issuance allows a company to raise capital from public investors.
When is an IPO appropriate?
- We are a fast growing company in an industry that enjoys great popularity and do not want to lose control of the company
- We want to continue to participate in the development of the company and it would be difficult for us to agree on a strategy with a financial or strategic investor
- We want to expand / acquire companies for which our company's own resources are not enough and we do not want to significantly indebted the company
- We do not consider selling the majority of the company in the future, but we do not oppose a partial sale
- We want to expand the possibilities of financing the growth of our company beyond loans and other debt products
- We would like to evaluate a part of our company and focus on other fields, we expect to hand over the company to our children
- We want to show that our company can go through such a complex process as an IPO
When not?
- Bank financing is unavailable to us, banks are not willing to continue financing our company
- Our industry is in recession and the prospects are not the best We do not like to report any financial indicators outside the company, we are careful not to put any information in the register that we do not need
- We will now sell 30% through the stock market and sometimes the rest in the medium term to a strategic or financial investor Our company does not have a clear organizational structure, set up reporting and control mechanisms
