IPOs are one of the ways to provide companies with alternative and long-term resources other than loans. A successful IPO is only possible if its timing and structure are correctly designed. It should be aimed to use the resources obtained in this way as an important driving force in the growth of the company.

In the process of making an IPO decision, companies need to make sure that they are ready for an IPO and that the timing is right. At this point, it is important that the IPO is not only viewed as a source of funding on reasonable terms, but also as a turning point in the ongoing life of the company.

During the IPO preparation phase, companies should be examined from multiple perspectives, including financial reporting, corporate governance, internal control and human resources.

The functioning of the company, its shareholding structure, legal and tax aspects should be evaluated and it should be decided whether the structure needs to be changed, and restructuring should be undertaken if necessary.

Within the framework of corporate governance principles, the functioning of the board of directors, transparency in the operation of the company, and the structure of the audit mechanism should be evaluated, and new formations should be decided if necessary.

The company’s 5-year budget, business plan and strategic goals should be carefully considered, taking into account the value of the company.

Finally, in the view of the available information, the factors determining the IPO value, the information required for the valuation, and other valuations made previously should be reviewed.

The meticulous management of the IPO process, which requires expertise in finance, law and audit, by an experienced team is of great importance for the success of the IPO.
