Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What should my company consider when choosing between an IPO, private capital, or a strategic partner exit?
Selecting the appropriate path depends on your company’s growth objectives, financial health, and prevailing market conditions. An IPO can provide growth capital and increased visibility but entails rigorous regulatory requirements and ongoing public scrutiny. Private capital or a strategic exit may offer greater flexibility and control, often with fewer regulatory demands. Turning Point begins with a feasibility study to assess your company’s readiness and guide you toward the option that best aligns with your strategic goals.
How long does the IPO preparation process take, and when should we start planning?
Preparing for an IPO typically takes 18 to 24 months, as it requires meeting stringent financial, operational, and regulatory standards. Initiating the process early allows time to address any gaps in financial reporting, compliance, and operational readiness. We support companies through each stage, from initial assessments to the public listing, ensuring they are fully prepared and compliant at every step.
How does Turning Point’s IPO advisory service help optimise the IPO process?
Turning Point provides end-to-end IPO support, including readiness assessments, financial reporting setup, and regulatory compliance. We focus on aligning financials and internal controls to meet market requirements, supporting governance and investor relations, and preparing for post-IPO responsibilities. This comprehensive approach helps to minimise risks and maximise the success of your public market debut.
What are the main challenges companies face during an IPO, and how can Turning Point help address them?
Common challenges include meeting regulatory requirements, adapting to increased scrutiny, and preparing internal teams for public reporting demands. Turning Point assists by implementing robust financial controls, ensuring compliance with governance codes, and providing technical accounting support. We work closely with your team to prepare financial models, strengthen governance, and create a clear investor relations strategy, facilitating a smooth transition to a publicly listed company.
What’s involved in a multi-track IPO and M&A exit strategy?
A multi-track approach involves pursuing both IPO and M&A options simultaneously, providing flexibility to choose the most advantageous path as market conditions and strategic considerations evolve. This strategy allows companies to maximise value by keeping multiple avenues open, enabling informed decision-making based on real-time developments.
