In my experience, an IPO process typically takes anywhere from six to nine months, assuming all goes smoothly. However, this isn’t to say it’s an exact science. IPOs are highly dependent on regulatory requirements, due diligence, market conditions, and the complexity of the business itself. It is a demanding exercise requiring careful preparation and skilled navigation through the multifaceted landscape of the financial world. Thus, the timeframe can certainly be shorter or longer depending on the unique circumstances of the company.
