IPO Readiness – Preparation for a Public Listing

We prepare your company for the stock exchange

A stock exchange listing, or IPO (Initial Public Offering), is an important, strategic, and extensive decision that also involves a demanding process. With BDO as your partner, you can feel confident that your organisation meets the high and comprehensive requirements placed on listed companies. We support you throughout the entire listing process.

A company is considered ready for listing once the applicable listing requirements have been fulfilled. The preparatory work ahead of a listing is typically extensive and time-consuming. It is important to work proactively and to begin the process well in advance.

Our specialists have extensive and solid experience in advisory services related to IPO preparations and public listings. We have strong knowledge of the regulations and market practices applicable to the various marketplaces.

This may include, for example, designing and implementing governance structures and policy documents, or establishing internal control frameworks and procedures for evaluating internal controls.

With us, you gain security, quality, and personal access to our experts. Depending on the company’s assessed level of maturity, we establish an action plan that typically extends over a period of 6 to 24 months prior to listing.

In addition to IPO audit services and compliance with listing requirements, we assist you with the preparation of financial reporting in accordance with IFRS®. We also support you with matters relating to sustainability requirements and sustainability reporting for listed companies. We can also assist with financial analyses.
