This booklet is designed to be a plain-English, high-level roadmap of the listing or initial public offering (IPO) process on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
This is not a comprehensive guide to the listing process; there are many details which should be included in a deep dive of the IPO process, such as various issues to consider after listing (for example, your continuous disclosure obligations).
In this booklet, we hope to give private companies (whether based in Australia or overseas) that are considering embarking on the road to an IPO on ASX, a user-friendly map to assist with planning that journey.
This booklet is set out in three parts:
- Part A provides some context to the listing process and the state of the market.
- Part B delves into five key steps along the IPO journey: choosing your team, preparing to IPO, conducting due diligence and preparing the disclosure document, selling the offer to the public, and the listing.
- Part C introduces Hamilton Locke and our credentials.
