Equity Governance Framework · ValueReady Layer

SME Listing

List your growing business on the SME exchange platform - governance readiness, IPO documentation, and the compliance framework that comes with public shareholding.

Lower entry barrier than mainboard

SME listing has less stringent eligibility criteria than a mainboard IPO, suited to growing SMEs.

Merchant banker required

A SEBI-registered merchant banker must manage the listing process.

Governance overhaul needed

Board composition, committees and disclosure practices must meet listed-company standards.

Path to mainboard migration

SME-listed companies can migrate to the mainboard once they meet larger-scale eligibility criteria.

How We Support You

A listing that holds up under public scrutiny.

Governance rebuilt, not patched

We treat governance readiness as a real overhaul, not a checklist exercise before filing.

One record through the whole process

Your existing cap table, registers and compliance history feed directly into the offer document.

Post-listing support continues

We stay engaged for LODR compliance and disclosures after the listing, not just up to the bell.

Common questions

What's the difference between SME listing and a mainboard IPO?

SME listing has lower eligibility thresholds (revenue, net worth, track record) and a lighter compliance regime, suited to smaller growing companies.

How long does the SME listing process take?

Typically 6–12 months, depending on how much governance and financial readiness work is needed upfront.

Can we migrate to the mainboard later?

Yes - once you meet the mainboard's larger-scale eligibility criteria, migration is a well-established process.
