It happens that at certain stages in the life of a business, the need arises to be listed on the stock market. Being listed on the Stock Exchange has certain advantages. First, it is to be able to access new resources for financing the activity in return for shares or bonds of the company. It is also offering a certain liquidity to shareholders by allowing them to access a market where exchanges are facilitated. Finally, it helps to increase the reputation of the company.<\/span><\/p>

Being listed on the BRVM requires an approach, compliance with admission conditions, provision of required documents and compliance with information obligations.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\r\n \r\n The approach <\/i>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

The most important step for the company is to make an informed decision on its IPO (Initial Public Offering) and based on objective reasons such as the need to raise funds to finance the activity or the need to increase reputation and notoriety. Indeed, being listed on the stock exchange is often for a company a sign of a certain maturity in governance, in particular because the listed company is subject to the obligation to periodically and regularly inform about its financial situation and all important events.<\/span><\/p>

The decision to go public must be voted on by the Extraordinary General Assembly.<\/span><\/p>

Once this step has been completed, the company must appoint a management and intermediation company which will ensure the structuring of the operation and the fundraising.<\/span><\/p>

The structuring makes it possible to perform all the necessary due diligence in order to obtain the authorization to carry out the transaction. Indeed, to call on the stock market is to make a public offering and this type of operation requires the prior approval of the regulatory authority, the Regional Council for Public Savings and the Financial Market (CREPMF ). It is once this visa has been obtained that the actual fundraising can be carried out by raising funds from the investing public in return for the issuance of the company\u2019s securities. Then follow the registration and admission to listing of the issued securities. The company will then be officially listed with an acronym and a code to identify it and trade its securities on the BRVM market.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
