You have worked long and hard to grow your company from the early days of a small enterprise. It is now ready for the next phase of growth. The subsequent move towards more ambitious goals makes the prospect of going public an exciting one.
Whether it is an IPO in Singapore or overseas, the multitude of factors to be considered can be overwhelming. You will need expert advice to guide you through the range of options available to achieve your company’s expansionary plans and bring you to greater heights.
The key advantages of a public listing include:
Enhancing your company’s corporate image and marketability
Establishing a foundation for your company to raise additional capital in the future, either through a further issue of shares or other financial instruments
Providing the opportunity to use your shares as a currency in a merger or an acquisition
Achieving a much higher degree of liquidity for your investment in the company
While a public listing provides numerous advantages, it does come with greater responsibilities. You will need to comply with regulatory requirements and practise good corporate governance while continuing to engage the minority investors and the public to meet market demands. Post-listing, some of the issues and challenges include:
Leveraging on listed status to grow the company
Raising additional funds/capital
Communicating with regulators and the investment community
Practising good corporate governance
