For Companies Preparing for IPO

Making an IPO is one of the most important steps towards the growth of private companies.
For the management of private companies, the IPO process would be a new experience. The process is usually accomplished by following the instructions given by their auditing firm or Managing Underwriter. Being new to the process, their lack of expertise may cause ineffective preparations and delays in the IPO process, which would cause a negative impact on their business.
During the listing examination, the Stock Exchange checks the company’s growth and assesses whether it would be appropriate to become a listed company. If critical issues arise in the listing examination, the listing may be delayed, and sometimes, may take years.
Therefore, it is crucial for company management to be aware of issues that may arise in order for them to take action and to fix them before going through with listing.

An established legal structure in the company is required in the preliminary stage of listing; however, being a listed company is not the ultimate goal.
After being listed, companies need to manage and improve their corporate legal system while tackling new and increasingly complicated legal issues such as disclosure of information, shareholders’ meetings, and others.
For many companies preparing for IPO, they will have to face crucial legal issues such as how to manage their established corporate legal system, how to check if the management of their established legal system is successful and how to improve it, etc.

In GVA LPC, we sort out those legal issues and support companies to realize a smooth operation of their IPO process and their growth afterwards.
