GOING PUBLIC 101 – YOUR CHECKLIST FOR A SUCCESSFUL IPO

Written By irlabs

Going public takes extraordinary diligence and is an all-hands-on-deck exercise dealing with many moving parts and advisors. We’ve created our official IPO / RTO checklist in a timeline format starting 6 to 9 months before an IPO containing:

  • Key steps to support an IPO

  • Ongoing activities once a company is public

  • A compilation of other handy IPO resources

Our checklist includes activities to help you:

  • Determine why you are going public and if you are ready to spend the time and money

  • Pick what exchange you will be listed on

  • Strategize how you will build your investor base

  • Establish your brand identity and how you would like to be positioned in the media with prospective investors

  • Activate your team of advisors to support your success as a public company: investor relations, public relations, market maker, corporate secretary…

  • Develop a digital IR strategy

  • Set up your TMX Linx Profile (for TSXV / TSX issuers)

We’ve helped many companies during their IPO preparations (including the hyper-busy launch week) for listings on all exchanges including the TSX, TSX-V, CSE, NEO, NASDAQ, and OTC markets.  Read our comprehensive Preparing for Your IPO/RTO checklist here:
