FAQ
What is a micro‑cap IPO and how is it different from a larger IPO?
A micro‑cap IPO is a listing of a smaller company with a lower market value. The process steps are similar to larger IPOs, but investor base, liquidity and disclosure expectations can differ. Exchanges may also have different listing tiers and rules.
How do you decide between IPO, direct listing and private capital?
We assess your growth stage, cash needs, investors, and reporting readiness, then compare raising new cash vs listing existing shares, estimated valuation ranges, and timelines, giving you a clear decision map with pros and cons for each option.
What is an IPO readiness or strategic assessment?
It is a structured review of your business, finances, governance and reporting. The goal is to see if you can meet exchange and investor expectations in the next 12–24 months (example). You get a gap list and a practical roadmap with priorities and timing.
How do you choose between Nasdaq and NYSE (and their tiers)?
We match your size, sector, growth story and target investors to each market’s typical profile, then assess listing rules, costs and likely interest. You get a brief recommendation with 1–2 preferred venues and a backup option.
What does a roadmap for me as an auditor or finance leader look like?
It usually has phases: clean‑up of historical numbers, upgrade of controls and policies, design of reporting calendar, and support for prospectus and investor materials. Each phase has clear owners, milestones and example timelines so you can plan resources.
How do you work with existing auditors, lawyers and banks?
We do not replace them. We help you frame issues, prepare materials and coordinate workstreams. This can reduce back‑and‑forth and help you ask the right questions. You stay in control of all final decisions and instructions to your advisers.
What is different about founder‑aligned advisory without board seats or equity?
Advice is focused on your objectives, not on gaining control or upside. There is no request for board roles, voting rights or equity. This can simplify governance and reduce conflicts when you negotiate with underwriters, investors and other advisers.
Can you help if we are based in MENA but want a US listing?
Yes, the roadmap can cover jurisdiction choice, holding structure and reporting standards. We map local rules to US market expectations and flag where you may need extra legal or tax input. The aim is a clear path from current setup to a US‑ready structure.
