What Is IPO Readiness?

IPO readiness is the process of preparing a company to meet the legal, financial, and governance standards required for public listing. This involves much more than filing documents—it requires building transparency, aligning internal systems, and ensuring long-term regulatory sustainability.

For SMEs planning to list on SME platforms, readiness is even more critical due to strict eligibility norms and ongoing compliance obligations.
