Before one commits to a specific underwriter with a letter of intent, do the homework and check out your future partner. Although a letter of intent does not necessarily bind either party, it can prevent one from dealing with other underwriters for a stipulated period of time. Do not commit to such a letter until you are confident in your choice of underwriting partners.

In addition to the document mentioned in the previous idea, another document which is binding is the underwriting agreement. Under normal circumstances, it is not signed until within 24 hours of the expected effective date of the registration statement. By this time the underwriter has received purchase commitments or indications that are commonly well in excess of the offering size. For this document, the company will incur substantial expenses with no assurance that the offering will take place. So much research has to be done here. |

After all the work has been done and your IPO has succeeded, there's still more work for your underwriter to complete. Post-IPO commitments are critically important to your company. Competent aftermarket support entails providing research data on your company and its competitors to the financial community, as well as financial advice. A quality road show should leave an unsatisfied demand level for your stock that will further help the aftermarket support and performance of your stock. |
