What is the process for going public on the NYSE?

Listing a company on the NYSE starts with meeting specific eligibility requirements, including financial and governance standards. The company then selects advisors and prepares key documents, such as the registration statement, for SEC review. After approval, the company submits a listing application to the NYSE, conducts a "roadshow" to attract investors, sets the IPO price, and begins trading publicly. Post-listing, the company must comply with ongoing NYSE regulations. This process, which can take months, enhances the company's visibility and access to capital.
