That is, unless they have help. Advaion is an independent consulting firm that remains dedicated to helping their clients go through significant growth, update their systems, and prepare for an IPO. In effect they’re giving a competitive edge in an ever-changing economic and technological landscape. Throughout 2014 we saw a host of companies go public and reap the benefits of having a streamlined, agile business: It raises an important question though, which Advaion wants to help their clients answer: how do you know when you’re ready to take your own company public? Further, why do you need help with the process? Satyaketu has 20 years of experience doing IPO work and helping companies assess their own situations before going public. From his perspective, a company must have all of the proper systems and personnel in place for optimum readiness. Further, according to Satyaketu the first thing any company investigating an IPO needs to do is set a realistic timeline. That is, you need to start the ball rolling sooner versus later: you should begin everything a minimum of two years out. Once your timeline is established you have to start digging in and examining your entire company, which will one day become exposed to the public. Advaion has these 6 questions they want each client to ask themselves: According to Advaion, you should be able to effectively answer each of these questions to determine if going public is something you’re ready for. You also have to be acutely aware of the financial costs associated with going public. The IPO process offers successful companies a new source of capital that can facilitate continued growth. The Advaion team can bring an objective perspective into the decision you’re making, and should you choose to go through the process they’ll be there with you every step of the way, guiding you towards IPO success.
