The PwC Global IPO Centre makes it easier for you to understand what you need to know, and what you need to do, to complete an IPO. We can help you evaluate the pros and cons of an IPO, navigate the listing process and prepare your business for life as a public company, regardless of the market you choose to list on.
We have a team of nearly 500 professionals deployed in over 30 key global capital markets. With our in-depth knowledge of the execution process and the rules and regulations governing the world’s leading capital markets, we can help clients choose the right markets for their businesses and navigate every phase of the complex IPO process.
Are you clear as to the potential exit route and do you want to retain optionality for more than one market and/or a potential private sale? You need to be confident it’s the right strategy for funding the next stage in your organisation’s development. You will also need to consider whether your organisation is prepared to accept the additional disciplines and requirements that come with being a public company (assuming IPO), and if so, which market will provide the best valuation and access to capital at the right time. Our Capital Markets team will navigate you through the strategic decisions you need to make at the outset.
Our experienced capital market specialists will answer all your structural, operational and regulatory questions, identify potential stumbling blocks and work with you to design a detailed plan for your individual path to the capital markets. We accompany you through the entire transformation process—from the initial strategic considerations, readiness assessment and early preparations, through the intensive phase of transaction execution and into life as a public company. Our clients value our individual and objective advice. We are at your disposal with the full range of experts to tackle challenges that are personal to you and your business. You can contact us here to discuss further.
