Steps to SME IPO Exchange

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), as the name suggests, are small business units. India boasts a significant number of SMEs that contribute to the overall GDP of the country. These SMEs belong to various sectors including, retail, education, IT, and digital media to name a few. What is an SME Exchange? When an SME comes up with its IPO (Initial Public Offering), it issues its shares through an exchange which is known as the SME Exchange. You can trade in the shares of small and medium scale enterprises through an SME Exchange. What is an SME Exchange listing? It is a transformational process wherein small and medium-sized enterprises list their shares on the stock exchange platform to offer them to the public. The procedure helps an SME turn from a private enterprise to a public limited listed company. On an organizational level, SME IPO platform provides greater employment opportunities at considerably minimal costs than the main board IPO. On a broader scale, the platform works towards correcting the wealth gap in the economy by offering growth opportunities to small & medium-sized businesses. In recent times, SME Exchange has gained traction among small and medium sized businesses to fuel business growth and grab expansion opportunities. In India, BSE SME & NSE SME (Emerge) are the two SME Exchange platforms. Currently there are over 300+ listings on BSE SME & 180+ listings on NSE SME (Emerge), making it an emerging stock exchange. The fact that the government is encouraging these budding platforms is also partly responsible for its wide popularity.
