Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) serve as a critical avenue for smaller businesses to raise capital and expand their operations. SME IPOs are typically listed on dedicated platforms, such as the SME exchanges of leading stock markets, which are tailored to meet the unique needs of smaller enterprises. These platforms offer lower compliance requirements and reduced listing costs compared to the main board, making them accessible for emerging businesses. Investors in SME IPOs often benefit from higher growth potential, although they must be prepared for increased risks due to the smaller size and limited operational history of the companies. SME IPOs play a significant role in fostering entrepreneurship and boosting economic growth.
