Risk always comes with opportunity. So what are the benefits when you do an IPO? IPO brings a lot of value in the short and long term. The following are the benefits businesses get when conducting an IPO.
Mobilize capital from external sources
When conducting an IPO, you can raise larger capital than before. Capital sources come from individual investors, institutional investors and financial institutions. This is done by selling shares on the stock market.
You can use capital for company operating activities. These activities are expanding scale, developing additional products or purchasing fixed assets.
Enhance brand reputation
IPO helps you gain more trust from business partners, customers and suppliers. These benefits are the premise for the company to attract new business opportunities.
When IPO, you also have the opportunity to appear on financial press pages. At that time, investors, customers and the business community will know about the business. This helps bring the business brand closer to the market. This is extremely useful to improve your competitive advantage over your competitors.
Increase efficiency in administrative activities
When IPO, you need to prepare transparent financial reports. In addition, for stock prices to increase, you need to maintain good governance. From there, you gradually improve the efficiency of managing activities in the company.
In addition, to have good financial reporting results, you also pay more attention to management activities to increase the overall efficiency of the organization.
Motivate staff
At IPO, employees can buy company shares at preferential prices. Companies can implement ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) programs.
Owning shares helps employees realize that the company’s development is closely related to personal benefits. From there, this helps them be motivated to work harder and more effectively.
Thus, based on the benefits that an IPO brings, businesses can consider whether to IPO or not.

When a business conducts an IPO, in addition to bringing many benefits to the business, there are also challenges that businesses need to pay attention to to ensure an effective IPO. The following are the main challenges, including:
High cost: The IPO process is not only financially expensive but also requires a lot of human resources and time. Related costs include legal, consulting, auditing and promotional costs, along with strict regulatory compliance requirements.
Requirements for transparency and financial reporting: When becoming a public company, businesses must comply with strict regulations on transparency and financial reporting. This requires businesses to have strict internal management and control systems, as well as be prepared to meet requirements from regulators and investors.
Pressure from shareholders: After an IPO, the business will face pressure from shareholders, who may demand rapid revenue and profit growth. This can lead to strategic decisions being influenced by short-term interests instead of the long-term interests of the business.
Possibility of acquisition: Listing on the stock exchange also brings the risk of being taken over by competitors or other large investors. Businesses need to have a clear strategy to protect their interests in such situations.
Financial pressure: The IPO process requires businesses to publicly disclose financial information and business plans. This can create financial pressure and assessments from shareholders and the market.
Costs incurred: The process of preparing and implementing an IPO requires a lot of effort and resources, along with additional costs such as consulting fees, legal fees, and stock listing costs.
Loss of control: After listing shares, businesses will have to share control with new shareholders, which can lead to a dispersion of power and changes in business strategy decisions.
