3 IPO alternatives for small-cap companies

The public markets offer tremendous benefits for small-cap companies seeking to raise capital and grow their businesses. Unfortunately, smaller issuers have been shut out of the IPO market due to rising costs and a lack of institutional support. 

We provide three alternative IPO methods that offer a faster, less expensive and less regulatorily burdensome path to a public listing:

  • Reverse merger
  • Slow PO
  • Regulation A+

This paper is the second in a series dedicated to addressing small-cap investor relations issues. You can revisit the first report in the series here:

  • Laying the foundation of a small-cap IR program
