In addition, within the organization, the sponsoring department should not interfere with the work of its research department.

Furthermore, sponsors should carefully choose the right time for applicants to go public to avoid failed initial public offerings.

Finally, as the main underwriter, sponsors should evaluate and control the risks of securities issuance and underwriting..

A listing sponsor is a securities company that guide and help companies prepare for listing by providing information about legal and regulatory requirements and by preparing prospectus and other offering-related documents.

The sponsor also helps the company throughout its listing by ensuring it meets disclosure requirements.
