Taking a company public can be one of the most exciting and rewarding events in the life cycle of a business.  The benefits can be significant: generating considerable wealth for owners, increasing operating capital, providing better access to the investment community, and enhancing the market recognition and public profile for your firm.  However, there are significant challenges associated with an Initial Public Offering (IPO). Becoming publicly listed will result in marked changes in how your business operates, such as more stringent compliance requirements and information disclosures, pressure from investors, and more intrusive regulatory scrutiny. 

Because of the complex nature of IPOs and the many challenges involved, detailed and extensive planning is crucial for successful execution.
