Underwriting bank

Supports a company during its initial public offering

A company that lists on the exchange can enlist the help of an IPO underwriter. It overtakes project management and organises numerous tasks that have to be completed prior to an IPO. These include the creation of a time plan or getting in touch with analysts. An IPO underwriter represents solely the interests of the IPO candidate.
