What does it cost to go public?

Third-party costs to complete a direct listing, reverse merger or IPO are highly dependent on the accounting, audit and legal expenses which varies based on many factors. Generally speaking, a client starts the process for $20,000 to $25,000 and if necessary, can raise capital to fund the rest.

We charge an advisory fee payable in cash but we are largely motivated by equity. As a result, we only engage with companies when we believe our process and strategies will help an entrepreneur build a larger and significantly more valuable business.

For an IPO, it can cost $600k to $1+ million plus equity, just to get to the point where an investment banking firm can raise capital. For a direct listing, it can cost $250k to $450k (or more) plus equity. For a reverse merger, it can cost more than $400k plus equity.
