Initial Public Offering
The Challenge
After the consolidation phase of a business, the next step for its expansion is the initial public offering. Getting listed on the stock market is a complicated operation that requires a number of prerequisites in order to gain access to the regulated market. A company that decides to go public must first follow certain steps before applying for admission, such as:
- Defining an industrial plan
- Certifying the balance to be deposited
- Identifying the needs of future shareholders
- Tightening contacts with Borsa Italiana.
These actions can lead to redefining a company’s organisation, as well as carrying out regulations in the control and management system. These are activities that a company may want to entrust experts with.
The Solution
Thanks to Eurokleis’ team of experts in corporate finance and business consultancy, it is able to follow companies which want to be listed on the stock market step by step by offering both consulting and listing services.
Among the pre-listing activities Eurokleis deals with:
- Supporting the development of the industrial plan with the related funding requirements
- Assisting customers in selecting Nomad and other consultants
- Proposing any changes in the corporate governance structure
While in the listing phase we follow the following steps:
- Two Diligence and verification of emerging issues
- Equity story building and investor relations strategy (also online)
- Drafting of the admission document
- Preparing a company’s presentation to financial analysts
- Roadshow planning with investors
- Price defining and bid allocation
The stock market is simple. All you need to do is buy a figure off a large company managed by integer and capable executives for a price lower than their intrinsic value, and then keep those quotas forever.
