Small & Medium Enterprise (SME) is the backbone of Indian economy. There are over 5 Cr SMEs in India. SMEs contribute to over 8.5% in GDP.

SEBI approved SMEs to raise funds through public issues (SME IPO) in 2011. Since then many companies got listed at the SME platform of BSE and NSE Exchanges. So far a very small number of entrepreneurs showed interest in getting listed. Following are few common perceptions promoters have:

  • Increase compliance level
  • External intervention in the company's day to day affairs and
  • Takeover Threat
  • Increase ongoing cost post listing

But in reality, that's not true.

  • Listing on the SME Platform has less regulatory bottlenecks. Many post listing compliance's like preparation & publication of quarterly results, printing & circulation of the annual report, etc. are exempt for SME companies.
  • Increased information flow helps to benchmark the value of companies.
  • SME Platform Listed Companies enjoy similar benefits as companies listed on main board with much-relaxed listing norms, reduced compliance's and minimal cost of listing.
  • Robust norms for takeover are in place to curb hostile takeovers. In a majority shareholding scenario, a hostile takeover is ruled out.

Here is the list of post-listing compliance's for SME Platform Listed companies:
