IPO process guidebook

IPO strategies for the changing business landscape

On the surface, the transformation from a private to a public company seems fairly straightforward. A company typically goes public when it sells securities to the general public for the first time. But exploring the opportunity to go public presents many challenges due to market volatility, increased regulations, expanded investor scrutiny of corporate governance, and heightened legislative influence.

In light of these challenges, it’s extremely important that any organization considering an IPO be well prepared. Strategies for Going Public, created by Deloitte in collaboration with Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP & Affiliates aims to help organizations effectively prepare for an IPO. It provides an overview of the IPO process, and detailed information regarding:

• The advantages and disadvantages of going public
• The regulatory requirements for public entities
• The procedures that organizations will need to plan for
• Determining the right time to go public
• The various stakeholders involved, and who can help you prepare
• What happens after you go public
