Stage 6: Late stage & exit
Listing on Bursa (ACE & LEAP markets)
Listing on Bursa Malaysia, including the ACE and LEAP markets, opens access to public capital and gives investors a way to exit, but it brings costs, disclosure and scrutiny.
Best suited for
Established, profitable companies with a track record and a reason to raise public capital or provide an exit.
Pros
- Access to a broad pool of capital
- Liquidity for shareholders and a public profile
- Share-based incentives for staff
Cons
- Significant listing costs and ongoing compliance
- Public disclosure and scrutiny
- Management time and shareholder expectations
Watch out for
Talk to an adviser early; eligibility, sponsor requirements and costs depend on the market you choose.
Where to look: Government agencies & support bodies
