IPO – Initial Public Offering
IPO Light – dedicated for SMEs
C4 has created an exclusively associated working party that enables smaller medium-sized companies from Austria to successfully go public. The IPO specialists at C4 have created a one-stop store for IPO candidates together with the leading IPO law firm CMS Reich-Rohrwig Hainz and Austria’s leading crowdinvesting platform CONDA.
An issue volume from EUR 25 million to EUR 70 million can be realized through institutional investors, but also through broad diversification among the more than 50,000 crowd investors on our partner platform. With the help of the IPO Light – Working Party, a significantly more cost-effective IPO on the Vienna or Frankfurt Stock Exchange is now possible. In conjunction with the Working Party, issuers also have access to a top all-inclusive offer from BDO, an internationally renowned autitor firm, for IPO company valuations and IFRS annual financial statements.
Four phases to the stock market
The Working Party IPO Light supports you with your IPO. In the 4 phases, we ensure the best possible preparation and smooth implementation. The most important success factors for your IPO are the highest possible issue proceeds and a liquid market in your share.
