‘Three months to decide, three years to list’: Singapore noodlemaker Leong Guan eyes growth after IPO

[SINGAPORE] When Lim Tze Chiang first considered the possibility of taking Leong Guan public in 2022, he had not fully imagined the long road that lay ahead for the local noodlemaker before its initial public offering.

“The decision to list took about three months,” said Lim. “But the listing process itself took roughly three years.”

With more than two decades since its founding and incomplete historical records, finding the relevant documentation proved challenging for the company.
