Your company is on the rise, and to reach your full potential, you consider an IPO as your next step. But is your Company prepared to operate effectively as a public company?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Successful IPO candidates will begin the transformation process well in advance. Companies that outperformed the market after an IPO often start planning to begin functioning like a public Company typically 6 to 12 months before finalizing the process of going public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The length of this period (which, in certain cases, can even be shorter) depends on several aspects, in particular, the stage of the Company\u2019s development, the governance and internal organization it has already in place. That is also very important on the long run, considering sustainability of the company and its business model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
