Thorough understanding and meticulous long-term planning of the IPO process is critical for issuers’ success in public markets. MZ believes your company has a right to and should be standing in a position of 100% internal non-superficial understanding of what happens at every step of IPO planning and why. MZ looks to arm companies with the knowledge they need to successfully navigate this critical process.
