IPO Programs

An Initial Public Offering is perhaps the most significant event in a company’s capital formation and corporate branding. Often the window of opportunity to go public is brief, which means that every decision is critical and management resources are strained to the maximum.

Having assisted with over 100 equity offerings, CCG offers the management of pre-IPO companies a skilled, scalable resource to address all the challenges that can arise. We enjoy positive working relationships with the majority of global and regional investment banking firms.

Our pre- and post-IPO programs are designed to ensure that you achieve both a successful offering and robust aftermarket support. IPO services include:

  • Disclosure policies and employee education
  • Underwriter selection
  • Road show presentations
  • Quiet period issues
  • IR identity and investor materials
  • Corporate website
  • Reverse mergers
  • Refining the business plan
  • Mock presentations and coaching
