Dreaming of the most realistic IPO workbook for practitioners and field experts.

An IPO is not a project created by one or two people.
It is the result of collaboration among numerous stakeholders, including management, staff, sponsors, accounting firms, and law firms.
However, the reality is that the actual practice is not clearly defined for anyone, and questions like “Where should I ask this?” and “Who should do this first?” are constantly repeated.
This book is a practical IPO guidebook designed to reduce such gaps and confusion in practice, enabling anyone to understand the flow from beginning to end and practically prepare for an IPO.
This book will serve as a systematic reference guide, ensuring you don't miss any key points, especially for professionals seeking practical depth, such as executives responsible for IR and finance, lawyers or accountants specializing in capital markets, and advisors involved in IPO consulting.
