About Meridian

Where Financial Expertise Meets Capital-Market Strategy.

We help businesses understand whether they are IPO-ready, identify gaps, strengthen financial and governance systems, structure the transaction and coordinate the critical workstreams required for a successful public-market journey.

Our engagements are built around the promoter's perspective — grounded in financial rigor, structured for execution, and oriented toward long-term shareholder value rather than a single transaction milestone.

Frequently Asked

Questions Promoters Ask Us.

What is an IPO?

An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is the process through which a privately held company offers shares to the public for the first time, becoming a listed entity on a stock exchange.

What is an SME IPO?

An SME IPO is a listing route designed for small and medium enterprises, with regulatory requirements and thresholds distinct from a Main Board listing.

What is the difference between SME and Main Board IPO?

The two routes differ in eligibility criteria, minimum financial thresholds, disclosure requirements and the exchange platforms on which shares are listed and traded.

How do I know if my company is IPO ready?

Readiness is assessed across financial performance, governance structure, internal controls, documentation and business scalability. Our IPO Readiness Assessment is designed to help you evaluate this.

How long does IPO preparation take?

Timelines vary by company and listing route, and depend on the extent of financial, governance and documentation preparation required before the formal process can begin.

What financial information is required?

Typically, audited financial statements, MIS reports, statutory filings and supporting documentation covering the periods required under applicable regulations.

What role does an IPO advisor play?

An IPO advisor helps assess readiness, structure the transaction, strengthen governance and financial systems, and coordinate the various professionals and workstreams involved in the process.

What are the major IPO costs?

Costs generally include advisory, legal, merchant banking, underwriting, listing and compliance-related fees, which vary depending on the size and route of the offering.

Can an unlisted company directly approach for IPO advisory?

Yes. Most engagements begin with an unlisted, privately held company evaluating its readiness before any formal transaction steps are taken.

What happens after listing?

Post-listing, businesses take on ongoing governance, disclosure and investor-communication responsibilities, where continued advisory support is often valuable.
