An SME IPO is when a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) goes public by listing its shares on a stock exchange to raise funds.
SME IPOs offer high-growth potential, early investment opportunities, and potentially higher returns compared to large-cap stocks.
Like any investment, SME IPOs come with risks, but thorough research and expert guidance can help minimize them.
Companies must meet financial, operational, and regulatory requirements set by the stock exchanges (BSE/NSE) to qualify for SME listing.
An SME with a minimum paid-up capital of ₹1 crore and a strong financial track record can apply for BSE SME listing.
