IPO readiness
An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is a significant milestone that requires thorough planning and preparation. To ensure a smooth and successful transition to a listed company requires advance planning starting at least two years prior to the target listing. The time before formally kicking-off an IPO transaction is best used for comprehensive planning, identifying and mitigating potential gaps, and ensuring that the organisation is well-positioned to operate as a public company. Early preparation is essential for a seamless transition to becoming a listed company and driving long-term value creation for all stakeholders of the company.
Deloitte’s IPO Readiness Assessment helps companies anticipate regulatory and public markets perspectives while helping identify areas for optimisation and value creation across the following key dimensions:
Our cross-functional teams, composed of subject matter experts for each function, analyse companies using an IPO lens to highlight any gaps, suggest optimisations and provide practical insights that help our clients navigate their IPOs with confidence. Each assessment is tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of companies.
Pre–Kick-Off Advisory (Transaction Advisory)
Make a strong first impression. It is important for companies to present the best version of itself at the onset of an IPO transaction - the IPO kick-off – and create a strong foundation before the IPO process formally begins. This stage is critical in identifying gaps, aligning stakeholders, and building readiness for the transaction.
