The IPO process is quite intense and has a relatively short window for execution, as it typically takes two to three months between the first fill and the offering's pricing. Furthermore, depending on market conditions, the IPO window may close.

Therefore, adequate and timely preparation are important facilitators of the process, as highlighted in the study "IPO in Practice: Lessons Learned by Entrepreneurs Who Went Through the Process," conducted by Ártica in partnership with B3 and Insper. In fact, 77% of the entrepreneurs interviewed commented that, if they had the opportunity to go through the IPO again, they would have taken longer to better prepare their companies.

Compliance with minimum governance requirements and the requirement of certain standards for financial statements are two of the main aspects of company preparation.
