IPO readiness and structuring work evaluates whether a company is prepared for a public listing from the perspectives of financial reporting, corporate governance, related-party transactions, key-person risk, internal controls and regulatory compliance. The assessment identifies gaps that need to be addressed before filing a draft red herring prospectus or equivalent document.
Structuring considerations include the appropriate listing platform (mainboard or SME), offer size, dilution, promoter holding, employee stock option schemes and any pre-IPO reorganisation. Coordination with legal counsel, statutory auditors and merchant bankers on information consistency and timeline is part of the process.
