3 Paths to the Stock Exchange

The independent stock market professionals at INSTANT IPO enable companies to execute stock market launches in an individual, time- and cost-efficient manner. Three different paths to the stock market are possible:

IPO (Initial Public Offering)

Traditional path where new shares are issued and offered to public investors. Includes underwriting, bookbuilding, and roadshow. Timeline: 12-18 months.

Shell (SPAC)

Acquire an already-listed shell company and merge your business into it. The fastest and most cost-efficient route. Timeline: 3-6 months.

Listing (DPO - Direct Public Offering)

Existing shares are listed directly on the exchange without issuing new shares. No dilution of existing shareholders. Timeline: 6-12 months.

The IPO describes the traditional path to the stock exchange, the listing describes the pure introduction to trading without a preceding subscription phase, and the shell company/SPAC transaction describes the takeover of an already listed company through the contribution of an existing business.

The independent stock market professionals at INSTANT IPO guide clients through the entire process from planning to the implementation of the listing.
