The concept of IPO
Grooming was born when it was recognised
that due to changing regulations, neither the
sponsoring broker or reporting accountant could
do the work that they might previously have done
with a client company.
The IPO or Trade Sale is enormously distracting
for incumbent management, and often a foreign
process involving lots of meetings and a staggering
amount of extra work. This usually has the effect
of distracting management from what they are good
at, (and what the post ipo market will be paying
them for), namely, running the business.
This is where IPO Grooming Limited
comes in:
- examining the business and
making structural improvements
- pulling together a suite
of information needed for the IPO
- distilling the key drivers
and strengths of the business in the language
that brokers and bankers understand
- reviewing (and often re-building)
financial models to meet the criteria of sponsoring
brokers or potential buyers
- preparing presentations
to interested parties, and coaching the management
in their “City” presentation skills.
- Mentoring the finance and
admin teams through the process, leaving them
at the end of the project with significantly
enhanced skills and “City” credibility.
