Abstract: This study aims to (1) extract knowledge and experience from operating financial businesses and managing public companies alongside the application of financial theories, and (2) synthesize comprehensive knowledge and guidelines in financial and investment management for the next generation of entrepreneurs. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study integrates real-world business experiences with established academic concepts to uncover effective financial and investment strategies for businesses seeking to enter the stock market via initial public offerings (IPOs). The findings highlight that the IPO journey is complex and resource-intensive, requiring strategic planning, professional advisory support, and long-term commitment. However, once listed, public companies benefit from expanded access to capital, enhanced corporate governance, improved market visibility, and sustained growth potential. With diligent preparation and sound execution, the IPO process can establish a strong legacy for family-owned businesses and contribute to national economic development.
