FAQ
We are a UAE tech company. Can we list shares in the US?
Often yes, if you meet exchange rules and reporting standards. You choose a structure, for example direct listing, IPO, or listing via a holding company. We help assess what is realistic for your stage and jurisdiction.
What is the difference between an IPO and a direct listing?
In an IPO, you issue new shares and raise capital. In a direct listing, existing shares start trading without a traditional underwritten offering. We compare both for you, including cost, dilution, and control impact.
How do we keep founder control when going public in the US?
You can use tools like dual-class shares, voting agreements, and board structures. Each has trade-offs for investors and regulators. We help design a structure that balances control, governance, and investor acceptance.
What do US investors expect from a UAE software company?
Clear growth story, predictable reporting, and simple metrics. They want to understand your market, unit economics, and path to profit. We translate your local story into a format US investors know and trust.
What is a readiness review for going public?
It is a check of your governance, reporting, controls, and disclosures. We look at board setup, financials, policies, and data quality. The goal is to find gaps early and create a plan to fix them before a listing.
How do we refine our financial communication for US markets?
We simplify your numbers into a clear equity story. That includes consistent KPIs, segment reporting, and scenario views. We then build materials like an investor deck and fact sheets in US investor language.
Which US exchange should we target as a micro-cap?
Choice depends on size, sector, and growth profile. Each exchange has different listing rules, costs, and investor bases. We map your current metrics to typical thresholds and suggest a realistic path and timing.
What happens after we list in the US?
You must report results on a set schedule and manage ongoing investor communication. You also use your listed equity in deals and incentives. We advise on disclosure rhythm, messaging, and capital markets strategy over time.
