When is it the right time to start considering an IPO?

If your company is:

• a leading player in the growing and profitable segments of the market
• led by an independent mindset of the current owners
• driven by motivation of the personnel and commitment of the key managers to the success of the business
• demonstrating sustainable growth rates and capability to win in a competitive environment
• experiencing shortage of equity capital and/or facing limits or unavailability of debt finance for the sustained development of the business…

and you also, as an owner of the business, are interested in:

• determining the real market value of your business and creating liquidity for your stake in the company
• maintaining control over the business
• improving the terms of debt finance e.g. larger amounts at lower interest rates for longer maturities
• augmenting staff motivation and commitment to success
• increasing the efficiency of the business
• boosting confidence and improving collaboration with partners, suppliers and customers
• exploring opportunities for creation of new business alliances (or sustaining the existing ones) on the most beneficial terms
• enhancing the reputation of your company in the marketplace and receiving wider media coverage among the business community

THEN THE RIGHT TIME TO CONSIDER AN IPO HAS COME.
