The length of time it will take a company to join the Enterprise Securities Market is influenced by many variables – such as the size and structure of the company, the method of flotation being used, and the complexity of the due diligence process which must be conducted by your advisors.
The amount of time it takes for a company to prepare itself for flotation can vary. However, the flotation process itself generally starts around six months before the expected date of admission to the Enterprise Securities Market.
