FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should my company consider when choosing between an IPO, private capital, or a strategic partner exit?
Choosing the right path depends on your company’s growth goals, financial health, and market conditions. An IPO can offer growth capital and visibility but involves rigorous regulatory requirements and long-term public pressures. Private capital or a strategic exit may offer more flexibility and control, often with fewer regulatory demands. Arrowpoint’s approach begins with a feasibility study to assess your company’s readiness and guide you toward the option that best matches your strategic goals.
How long does the IPO preparation process take, and when should we start planning?
Preparing for an IPO can take 18 to 24 months, as it requires meeting strict financial, operational, and regulatory standards. Starting early gives time to address any gaps in financial reporting, compliance, and operational readiness. We support companies through each stage, from initial assessments to the public listing, making sure they are fully prepared and compliant at every step.
How does Arrowpoint’s IPO advisory service help optimise the IPO process?
Arrowpoint Advisory provides end-to-end IPO support, including readiness assessments, financial reporting setup, and regulatory compliance. We focus on aligning financials and internal controls to meet market requirements, supporting governance and investor relations, and preparing for post-IPO responsibilities. This comprehensive approach helps to minimise risks and maximise the success of your public market debut.
What are the main challenges companies face during an IPO, and how can Arrowpoint help address them?
Common challenges include meeting FCA regulations, adapting to increased scrutiny, and preparing internal teams for public reporting demands. Arrowpoint assists by implementing strong financial controls, ensuring compliance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, and providing technical accounting support. We work closely with your team to prepare financial models, strengthen governance, and create a clear investor relations strategy, making the transition to a publicly listed company as smooth as possible.
What’s involved in a multi-track IPO and M&A exit strategy?
A multi-track approach involves pursuing both IPO and M&A options simultaneously, giving companies flexibility in choosing the most favourable path as market conditions change. Our advisory services ensure readiness for both tracks, preparing your company for public listing while engaging potential M&A partners, so you have options and can make informed decisions as the process unfolds.
