Being admitted for trading is not the final destination, rather the beginning of an exciting new journey for the company. After going public, the company has an additional product – its own share. It should be promoted and cultivated like all products or services already offered by the company.

A company on the financial market competes with other public companies for investor and media attention. This demands professional shareholder information and investor relations to boost and maintain shareholder confidence over the long term. The Nordic Exchange and First North offer a wide range of products and services to help the company get the most out of the financial market.

The reasons for going public and joining First North differ from company to company, but often the main reason is the need for capital. A growing company may need an injection of new capital to realize, for example, expansion plans, increased R&D or intensified marketing. Going public can help bring in necessary capital.

Going public can serve a number of other purposes, such as:

A mark of quality, which facilities international business as well as attracting qualified staff
Visibility for the company’s business as well as products
Provide a market value of the company and its shares
Serve as an exit opportunity for owners
Facilitate ownership succession
Possibility to offer employee incentive programs
Publicity

The visibility of your company naturally increases when you go public since a listing requires ongoing information disclosure to the market and investors. This raises the profile of your share as well as your company and products. On First North, your company will be accompanied by other companies, some of which share the same peer group and are directly comparable to your company.

A public company has several possibilities of raising capital on the marketplace to realize expansion plans, mergers and acquisitions or investments.
