Scale New Heights and List on Major Stock Exchanges

We guide large-scale companies through the prestigious process of launching a Mainboard IPO, helping you raise substantial public capital and list on the main platforms of BSE and NSE.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a Mainboard IPO?

A Mainboard IPO is meant for established, large-scale companies looking to raise significant capital from the public and institutional investors by listing directly on the main boards of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) or Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

2. What is the eligibility criteria?

To list on the Mainboard, companies must meet strict financial benchmarks set by SEBI. These include specific minimum requirements regarding your company’s net worth, track record of profitability, and net tangible assets.

3. How long does the Mainboard IPO process take?

On average, the entire journey takes about 6 to 8 months. The exact timeline depends on how audit-ready your company is and the time taken for regulatory reviews.

Preference Shares Issue

Flexible Capital Solutions Tailored for Smart Growth

We help companies structure and issue Preference Shares. This is an excellent financial tool that allows you to raise capital from specific investors by offering them structured payouts while preserving your core equity voting control.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a Preference Shares Issue?

It is a private allotment of a special class of shares (Preference Shares) to selected investors. Unlike equity shareholders, preference shareholders enjoy a fixed dividend payout and get priority during capital repayment, but they generally do not carry core voting rights.

2. Why choose a Preference Shares Issue?

• No Voting Dilution: It allows you to bring in large-scale capital without giving up management or voting control of your business.
• Flexible Terms: You can structure them as cumulative (unpaid dividends roll over) or non-cumulative, and convertible or non-convertible.
• Attractive to Investors: It offers lower risk and steady, predictable dividend returns for strategic investors.

3. What compliance and approvals are required?

Because this alters a company’s share capital structure, you will need formal approvals from your Board of Directors and Shareholders (via a special resolution). Listed companies must also secure approvals from the Stock Exchanges and strictly follow SEBI and Companies Act guidelines.

4. How do we support your Preference Shares Issue?

We manage the entire structural, financial, and legal framework. Our team helps you fix the dividend rate, drafts the offer terms, manages regulatory filings, and coordinates clearances from start to finish.

Our 5-Step Process to Success

We design a tailored plan for your preference shares. This includes determining the ideal size of the issue, setting the dividend rate, choosing the redemption timeline (up to 20 years), and deciding if the shares will eventually convert into equity.

2. Pre-Issue Planning & Capital Alignment

We evaluate your corporate financials to align the incoming funds with your long-term business goals. Our corporate finance team ensures the issue structure protects your balance sheet while remaining highly attractive to institutional investors.

3. Investor Outreach & Presentations

We help you position the offer effectively to high-net-worth individuals and strategic institutional funds. We design clear investor pitches that highlight your company’s financial stability and the reliable returns your preference shares offer.

We handle all the legal heavy lifting. Our team drafts the explanatory statements, prepares shareholder notices for the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), files necessary forms under the Companies Act, and secures stock exchange clearances.

Our relationship continues after the allotment. We help you manage ongoing investor communications, ensure proper accounting for dividend tracking, and guide you through compliance terms as a company with active preference shares.

Secure High-Value Capital Safely and Discreetly

We help companies raise significant capital quickly by offering shares or debt instruments directly to select institutional and strategic investors, completely bypassing the long and public IPO process.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a Private Placement?

A private placement is a highly efficient fundraising method where a company sells shares, debentures, or other securities directly to a pre-selected group of investors, rather than making a public announcement or opening it up to the general stock market.

2. Who can invest through a Private Placement?

Investments are typically restricted to sophisticated investors who can bring large-scale funds, including:

• Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs): Mutual funds, insurance companies, and foreign portfolio investors.
• High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs): Wealthy independent investors.
• Promoters & Strategic Partners: Entities looking for deep, long-term business alignment.

3. Is it faster than a public issue?

Yes, significantly faster. Because it does not involve the general public, it requires fewer regulatory marketing clearances, carries much lower administrative costs, and offers incredible flexibility in structuring the deal terms.

4. What regulations govern Private Placements?

While it is faster than an IPO, it is still highly regulated to protect investors. In India, it must strictly comply with the Companies Act (Section 42), SEBI guidelines, and relevant stock exchange rules, including strict caps on the maximum number of people you can invite to invest.

We act as your complete transaction advisors. Our team values your company, drafts the private placement offer letters, handles all legal filings, and helps structure the deal to ensure you get optimal capital without over-diluting your business.
