How We Help

Our team conducts a comprehensive analysis of the company's historical performance, growth trajectory, and corporate structure. We critically evaluate profitability trends, revenue drivers, acquisition/divestiture impacts, and any material group reorganizations.

We guide clients through formally preparing their business strategy, financial forecasts, and market positioning to formulate a base case for an IPO. We create compelling pitch decks and investor materials that effectively communicate the investment thesis. We also develop thorough business plans supported by financial models, market assessment/s, and intended use of funds.

Our internal diagnostics assess IPO readiness across all critical functions and controls. We evaluate corporate structures, financial reporting, tax/zakat compliance, policies/procedures, internal audit, IT systems, risk management, and corporate governance. Our comprehensive diagnostics identify gaps requiring remediation during the pre-IPO phase, ensuring that the foundation of the IPO has been laid by following effective financial controls, regulatory compliance, IT readiness, and governance frameworks.

By methodically reviewing each of these components upfront, we equip companies with a plan that details the formulation of a robust strategy, financial controls, reporting capabilities, corporate governance, and internal resources required to go public smoothly.
