Our Approach to IPO Consulting

Launching an IPO is a complex journey, and success isn't guaranteed. According to our research, 30% of IPOs with annual revenues exceeding $500 million underperform in their first year. For smaller IPOs, this statistic increases to nearly 50%. At The Reservoir Global Limited (TRG), our IPO consulting services are designed to guide you through the intricate process, ensuring you maximize both immediate returns and long-term value.

Before initiating the IPO process, TRG collaborates with you to develop a comprehensive strategy. This includes defining the deal rationale and determining the appropriate scope. We meticulously assess the value potential for your company, potential investors, and existing shareholders to ensure a successful and impactful IPO.

TRG conducts an in-depth readiness assessment to identify any gaps in your IPO preparation. We work swiftly and efficiently to help you address these gaps, ensuring your company is fully prepared for a successful IPO launch.

We specialize in crafting a compelling and integrated IPO equity story that highlights anticipated value creation through growth, cost reduction, and enhanced cash flow. By developing the right equity narrative, companies can effectively meet funding targets and achieve market success.

We assist in developing a detailed, investor-proof business plan that supports your value creation narrative. This well-substantiated and ambitious plan, reinforced by clear proof points, serves as a solid foundation for effective guidance and communication with investors and analysts.

We ensure you can continue running your business without distraction while managing the complexities across various stakeholders, including markets, existing shareholders, employees, and advisors. The true measure of an IPO's success lies in the strength and stability of the business you retain after the stock exchange’s closing bell.

Creating and Executing an IPO Strategy

At The Reservoir Global Limited (TRG), every engagement starts with a comprehensive analysis of your business. We then assess whether an IPO is the optimal route, considering alternatives such as trade sales to industry players or private equity firms, which may offer equally promising outcomes.

Often, IPO planning runs concurrently with a carve-out process, which involves operational and financial separation of the target entity from its corporate parent. Both IPOs and carve-outs are complex, large-scale projects requiring meticulous attention to detail.

Once the decision to pursue an IPO is made, the detailed preparation begins. While some IPOs can be completed in as few as 6 months, a 12 to 18-month timeline is more realistic to ensure thorough preparation for becoming a publicly listed company.

Our structured and proven approach splits the IPO journey into three key phases: conceptualize, prepare, and execute. Each phase is designed to enhance the likelihood of a successful IPO.

Key Considerations for a Successful IPO

Valuation

The business strategy and equity story significantly influence stock value. Crafting the right story is crucial.

Information Management

Identifying, reviewing, and processing vast amounts of information demands extensive analysis and a significant time commitment.

Coordination

Effective project management is essential to ensure a seamless preparation process and timely completion of all required tasks.

Bandwidth and Skill Sets

Intensive effort and additional skilled resources are needed over extended periods with tight deadlines. Securing the right resources is key.

What is the Typical IPO Timeline?

The timeline for an IPO can span several years, but many experts suggest that companies operate like a public entity for one to two years before officially going public. The core IPO process itself typically involves around six critical months.
