You're thinking about growth, investors (VC/PE funds) or stock exchanges (IPO), but you don't know what the first step is?
Many businesses, especially family businesses, start to ask themselves at some stage of development:
- How to finance the next growth phase without over-borrowing
- whether IPO, VC/PE investment or any other option is more realistic for them;
- what it means in practice to professionalise management before entering the market
- How to Avoid Expensive Mistakes and Unrealistic Expectations
If you find yourself in these questions, Workshop PutMarket offers concrete answers first-hand and based on real-life experiences.
