Considering flotation

Deciding whether to float your company on a stock market is an important decision. Most successful privately-owned companies will eventually reach a stage in their development where they consider whether the next natural step is to join a public market. There are different routes to joining the Main Market including Premium, Standard and High Growth Segment. You can find out more in this section about what to consider and how to prepare for life as a public company.
