IPO and Beyond: A Corporate Governance Roadmap

What you need to do before, during and after your IPO

Whether you’re a private company, planning to list or already on the market, you’ll need appropriate controls and reporting in place to prepare your board for all the governance issues they may face.

We’ll give you practical advice to provide a sound governance framework that mitigates risk and gives you effective oversight.

We’ll guide your board and management pre-IPO and help you navigate the pre- and post-IPO landscape to implement the reporting and regulatory environment of a listed company.

Becoming PLC-ready is a big step behaviourally and culturally. We’re there for you every step of the way, with clear advice.

Being part of Link Group means you have access to a range of specialists to support your company’s growth journey all under one roof.

Case Study - Mediclinic

Mediclinic International plc is a private hospital group operating in Southern Africa, Switzerland and the Middle East. It’s headquartered in South Africa, has a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and is a FTSE 250 company.

We’ve been their trusted advisers since 2013 when we were appointed to provide company secretarial support to Al Noor Hospitals Group, an Abu Dhabi business, in anticipation of its IPO in London.

We supported Al Noor through the complexities of its initial listing and, two years later, a reverse takeover by Mediclinic and its subsequent admittance to the FTSE 100 index.

Retaining our role, the main initiatives after the reverse takeover included:

  • Familiarising the chairman and other new board members with UK legislation and corporate governance
  • Integrating ourselves long distance into the existing secretariat in South Africa.

Since then, we have provided tailored advice to Mediclinic on a variety of matters as part of our ongoing role. We have a strong working relationship with the group and are an integral part of the team. Those of us working with Mediclinic feel like we wear two badges: Mediclinic and Company Matters.

Company Matters is very efficient, they know what they are doing. They are very good.
