Don't let today's market fluctuations prevent you from preparing to go public. The IPO process can take up to two years, and careful planning is critical.
You may think you’re ready to make the leap. Your governance practices may suggest otherwise.
Going public brings new scrutiny and new demands — from shareholders, from regulators and from customers — that many companies simply aren't ready for. Putting governance best practices in place now, well ahead of the IPO, prepares your organization to address these demands. Implement governance best practices today, and you'll set yourself up for long-term success and scalability that lasts years beyond the IPO.
“Make sure you’re behaving like a public company before you’re a public company," says Bonnie Hyun, US Head of Capital Markets, NYSE.
