Listing / IPO
A stock market listing or an IPO (Initial Public Offering) offers your company the opportunity to list equity in a regulated market, and it offers your partners, e.g. family shareholders or private equity companies, the chance to sell shares to private and institutional investors. For many companies a stock market listing is one of the key events in their corporate history. The highest possible quality standards should therefore be observed when executing such a transaction from start to finish.
