Embarking on an initial public offering (IPO) is a momentous step for any company. It signifies a pivotal moment of growth, market expansion, and increased visibility. However, the path to IPO readiness is a complex and demanding one, requiring meticulous preparation, rigorous compliance, and strategic decision-making.

As businesses continue to evolve, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) serve as powerful catalysts for growth, market consolidation, and innovation.
