The initial public offering (IPO) is a great method for SME businesses to get access to public funding with little effort. This aids in accommodating their increasing requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may now list on the bourses BSE and NSE via the specialised BSE SME and NSE Emerge markets without the need for an IPO. The main board’s listing requirements are far more stringent than those of these other platforms. When compared to publicly traded corporations, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have less restrictions when it comes to listing criteria such as history, cost, corporate governance rules, reporting requirements, and timeline.
