Get a second opinion on your deal structure in Dubai
You already have a proposed IPO or direct listing structure. Use an independent, founder‑aligned view to confirm risks, trade‑offs, and options before you commit.
As a MENA logistics CEO, today’s deal terms will shape control, dilution, and future rounds. A brief review can flag risks, misaligned incentives, and simpler options before you commit.
FAQ
Why should I get a second opinion on my IPO or direct listing structure?
A second opinion helps you see blind spots. It can stress‑test valuation, dilution, control, and timing. This is useful before you lock in terms with banks or investors.
What parts of my deal structure can Alexander review?
He can review listing venue choice, valuation range, share classes, voting rights, lock‑ups, use of proceeds, and underwriter or advisor roles. He can also flag market and governance risks.
Can I get a second opinion if banks already proposed a term sheet?
Yes. You can share the draft term sheet and key emails or decks. The review can focus on what is market‑standard, what is aggressive, and what options you still have.
How is this different from what my bank or lawyer tells me?
Banks focus on getting the deal done. Lawyers focus on legal risk. An independent advisor can focus on founder outcomes: control, dilution, long‑term flexibility, and investor perception.
What materials should I prepare for a second‑opinion session?
Prepare your cap table, draft term sheet, listing venue options, recent board decks, and any investor feedback. A short summary of your goals and red lines is also helpful.
Can we compare IPO vs direct listing vs staying private?
Yes. You can compare cost, dilution, timing, liquidity, and disclosure needs. The goal is to see if the proposed IPO structure is really better than other paths for your case.
How does this work if my company is based in MENA?
You can still target a US exchange. The review can cover jurisdiction setup, holding company structure, and how MENA logistics and distribution stories are usually positioned to US investors.
What decisions should I expect after a second opinion?
You may adjust valuation targets, share classes, lock‑ups, or listing venue. You may also decide to renegotiate terms, change advisors, or delay the deal to fix key gaps.
