IPO and M&A Preparedness

Be Prepared to Grow Your Capital Structure

Are you ready to move your private company to the next growth level? You generally have the following choices:

1. Initial Public Offering (IPO)
2. Private Equity Placement
3. Private or Public Debt
4. Merger or Acquisition (M&A)

All paths require planning and carefully leveraging your resources to help ensure maximum returns to shareholders.

IPO Preparedness

Private companies considering a potential IPO need to research the pros and cons carefully in making a decision. While it is a primary mechanism for tapping into the U.S. public debt and equity markets, it also comes with a slew of SEC rules and regulations. Understanding these rules and regulations, and navigating through them in the most efficient and effective manner, is what our preparedness program offers. Candela Solutions conducts preparedness training for the board of directors, executive management and internal auditing to help them better understand the new SEC landscape and associated risks.

Preparing for a Sale, Merger or Acquisition

Private companies whose strategy is a sale, a merger or acquisition (M&A), need to have a solid roadmap in place to show they are worthy of the pending investment. Strong controls over financial statements, operations and compliance will prove to investors, creditors or buyers that you are prepared to provide them with a solid rate of return.
