IPO Readiness for Payment Platforms Starts in Financial Operations
Use this checklist to separate **expansion readiness** from **filing readiness** before you commit to new markets. A payment platform can be ready to launch in a new country or vertical yet still be unready for IPO scrutiny. Filing readiness brings its own requirements: SEC effectiveness before securities can be sold, ongoing Exchange Act reporting, and CEO/CFO certification tied to Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.
