The months-long process starts with retaining a law firm to engage in the process of assembling the detailed public disclosures needed in the Initial Public Offering prospectus that is included in the SEC Form S-1.

Next follows the interviewing and selecting of the investment bank or group of investment banks that will handle the underwriting to set the price and lining up the large institutional investors needed for a successful Wall Street rollout.

Finally, leading up to the IPO, company executives engage in a road show to meet with analysts, stock portfolio managers and mutual fund managers, as well as prepare for ongoing investor relations.
