Nine Ways Computershare Can Help Your Clients Before, During and After Their IPO
Going public is a huge step in a company’s corporate lifecycle. Having an expert partner that can guide them through all the other steps that can make and keep them successful is huge too.
When guiding your clients into the public market, success requires joining up with expertise outside the business dealings core to your firm. You’ll need a share registrar that’s IPO battle-tested and ready to deliver – no matter how, or where, your clients want to go public.
From understanding the global infrastructure of exchanges and listing technologies across capital markets, to offering shareholders digital self-service technology and helping companies prepare for corporate governance as a listed company, Computershare can help your clients IPO intelligently.
If you’re doing business in the U.S. a registered agent is required. But is your registered agent a standalone service operating at status quo? It may be time to reassess. With Computershare, you get an agent who does more than keep you in good standing. You can integrate registered agent with business licenses and global entity and subsidiary management.

Any company can be a target for an activist investor. Most recently, investor attention to environmental, social and governance (ESG) vulnerabilities gave rise to a new form of activism – one focused on a company’s environmental and social (E&S) weaknesses and holding directors accountable. Georgeson will help your clients establish an expert defense team with detailed workflows, conduct vulnerability assessments and develop engagement strategies specific to their stakeholder base.
