Going Public
As you prepare to enter the capital markets, you need to build investor support and a reporting and disclosure infrastructure along the way.
The lure of an IPO is strong as it:
- Provides increased liquidity for founders, investors and employees
- Creates a public currency for acquisitions and other corporate objectives
- Establishes a liquid currency for employee incentive plans, enabling a company to attract and retain key talent
- Raises capital for growth and strengthens the balance sheet
- Heightens visibility and prestige with customers and vendors
- Provides access to fundraising in the public markets
Financial Relations Board has worked with more than 350 IPO’s, which is more than any other agency. Therefore, we are uniquely qualified to make certain that your company is optimally positioned to maximize the proceeds from your IPO and well prepared for all that you will encounter in the aftermarket.
Our build-to-suit model ensures that each individual client’s needs are taken into consideration when preparing a plan to take the large step into a public offering. An IPO carries a high price tag, not just in dollars spent finding the right SEC counsel, auditors, underwriters, accountants, printer, and so on, but in time. Life changes once the decision to go public occurs. CEOs and CFOs must be prepared for intense public scrutiny and a stringent regulatory environment. The focus on corporate credibility is at an all time high and investors are demanding unprecedented financial transparency.
The services we can provide throughout the IPO process include:
- Pre-IPO Services designed to help ease your transition from the private to the public world.
- IPO Process Support builds investor interest and a reporting and disclosure infrastructure along the way.
- Post-IPO Aftermarket Assistance builds upon the momentum of your offering to optimize your stock’s performance.
