Deloitte Middle East facilitated a dialogue with key market participants on the trend of family businesses and IPOs, given the growth we have witnessed in regional family groups considering listing of one or more of their businesses.
The discussion centred on the raft of change in recent years to the IPO landscape, key factors and characteristics of a successful IPO of a family business, how pivotal a factor valuation is in the mind of the family given the range of other market forces at play, common challenges and the questions families are asking when it comes to the process, and, finally, the relationship and dynamics between the family, business, exchange and regulator in the jurisdiction it chooses to list in.
Voluntarily, this whitepaper captures the highlights from an insightful roundtable discussion in a conversational format.
