At Advisory Corp, we follow a systematic methodology that ensures every feasibility study meets international banking standards. Our process has successfully delivered over 250 projects worth SAR 100+ billion across Saudi Arabia.
We conduct an IPO readiness assessment covering governance, financial reporting, regulatory compliance, and operational readiness against CMA Tadawul and Nomu listing requirements. We produce a gap analysis and a phased action plan with clear ownership.
Our team works alongside your management and board to close identified gaps — strengthening board composition, audit committee independence, IFRS financial statements, internal controls, and related-party disclosures to meet CMA standards.
We build investor-grade financial models and multi-year projections, develop your equity story, prepare IPO-ready management accounts, and review all documentation for consistency across the prospectus, financial model, and investor presentations.
We prepare and review IPO prospectus drafts and roadshow materials, coordinate with your CMA-licensed financial advisor, support the due diligence process, and manage information flow between all advisors through to a successful listing.
For decades, we’ve partnered with visionary investors and their portfolio companies to unlock exceptional value through disciplined financial strategy and execution. Our client-focused approach has helped businesses transform their financial operations and achieve sustainable growth across diverse market conditions.
IPO readiness in Saudi Arabia is the process of preparing a company for listing on Tadawul (Main Market) or Nomu (Parallel Market). Advisory Corp’s IPO readiness services cover corporate governance strengthening, financial reporting under IFRS or SOCPA, CMA regulatory compliance, investor relations preparation, board committee formation, and financial model auditing — ensuring your company is genuinely prepared for the scrutiny of a public listing.
To list on Tadawul (Main Market), companies must generally meet CMA requirements including: a minimum of three years of profitable operations, audited financial statements under IFRS or SOCPA, formation of an independent board with audit and nomination committees, appointment of a CMA-licensed financial advisor, lock-up agreements for founding shareholders, and approval of a CMA-reviewed prospectus. Requirements for Nomu (Parallel Market) are lighter and suited to growth-stage companies.
IPO preparation in Saudi Arabia typically takes 12 to 24 months, depending on the company’s existing governance structure, quality of financial reporting, and regulatory readiness. Advisory Corp’s phased IPO readiness programme identifies all gaps through an initial diagnostic and closes them systematically, minimising the time to listing while ensuring the company is genuinely ready — not just superficially compliant.
Tadawul (Main Market) is Saudi Arabia’s primary stock exchange for established, profitable companies and has stricter listing requirements including minimum profit history, governance standards, and market capitalisation thresholds. Nomu (Parallel Market) has lighter requirements and is designed for growth-stage companies seeking to raise capital and build a public market presence before potentially graduating to the Main Market. Advisory Corp advises on the most suitable listing venue for each client.
The Capital Market Authority (CMA) approval process for an IPO in Saudi Arabia requires: appointment of a CMA-licensed financial advisor and legal counsel, submission and approval of a detailed prospectus meeting CMA disclosure requirements, confirmation of compliance with corporate governance regulations, satisfaction of the listing conditions specific to Tadawul or Nomu, and a cooling-off period for pre-IPO shareholders. Advisory Corp coordinates all aspects of this process.
Yes. Advisory Corp supports the preparation and review of IPO prospectus drafts, ensuring consistency between the financial model, management accounts, historical financial statements, and forward-looking statements. We work alongside your CMA-licensed financial advisor and legal counsel to ensure the prospectus meets all CMA disclosure requirements and accurately represents the investment case to public market investors.
