The Irish stock market has historically had very few companies successfully complete an IPO compared to our European counterparts; with only three Irish companies joining the public market in 2017. Here in our most recent video, Lorcan explains the advantages and opportunities an IPO can offer entrepreneurial businesses and the key steps required having recently assisted with the first Irish company to float on the Nasdaq First North.

At Mazars, working closely with and studying entrepreneurial businesses has highlighted many common challenges facing these companies regardless of their business model or sector. These challenges range broadly from implementing long-term business strategies to the issues surrounding succession planning. At Mazars we are dedicated to helping those who lead entrepreneurial businesses to re-align the focus required to maximise the long-term value of their business.
