Five things to consider for a successful listing on Nasdaq First North Growth Market

Taking the step and listing your company on Nasdaq First North Growth Market is a major and exciting milestone. This opens up new opportunities to gain access to capital and increases the company’s visibility. To ensure a smooth listing process, there are several important aspects to consider. Here are five things to keep in mind:

1. Preparation and planning Preparation is the key to a successful listing. Create a detailed plan that covers all aspects of the listing process, including timelines, budget, and defining responsibilities. Conducting a pre-IPO process before the start of an IPO process can be a good way to prepare the company and can lead to a faster and smoother listing process.
2. Selection of advisors Engage experienced advisors such as legal advisors, auditors and a Certified Adviser approved by Nasdaq. They will guide you through the process and ensure that all requirements are met. Nasdaq First North Growth Market has specific regulations that must be followed. It’s crucial to understand and meet these requirements before and after the listing to avoid any delays or issues both during and after the listing process.
3. Internal control and Due Diligence Review and ensure that the company has good internal processes and procedures and ensure that any needs that are identified are addressed. Having good order in documentation and legal agreements is of utmost importance before a listing. Prepare for an extensive due diligence process. This means reviewing and verifying all aspects of your company, from financial statements to operational processes and legal agreements.
4. Financial reporting and corporate governance A company that wants to be listed needs to create trust through its financial reporting. Invest time and resources in ensuring that your financial statements are accurate and transparent and that you can produce accurate interim reports in a timely manner, a hygiene factor for potential investors. Consider whether there is specific financial information and key figures specific to your business or industry that you can make visible to potential investors. Review and strengthen your corporate governance. A clear structure and strong corporate governance are crucial for attracting investors and building confidence in the market. Ensure that the Board has the expertise needed for the company to develop positively.
5. Establish an IR and communication plan A listing process takes a lot of resources and time, and it’s easy to forget to look past the listing day. It is therefore important to set a communication plan early on to apply both before the listing and after the listing day. Therefore, spend time developing an IR plan and communication strategy that you can stick to and that clearly conveys your company’s values, vision and business model. This is important both before the listing and to keep the market informed afterwards. Demonstrating a common thread in your communication is also important for building strong relationships with both existing and potential investors. Regular and open communication with investors is essential for building trust and attracting capital.
