The FPPP diagnostic
The free scan shows you where you stand on the criteria it asks, and where your own answers contradict each other. What it cannot tell you is whether you would pass — none of the criteria that decide that is in it. The diagnostic runs the whole pack, those included, and says what to do about what it finds, in what order, and roughly how long each item takes on its own. It is an order of work, not a dated plan: how fast it runs depends on how many people you put on it.
All 73 criteria, not 15
The free scan covers all nine areas at a third of the depth. The diagnostic runs the whole pack — including every criterion a sponsor cannot give the confirmation without.
Priority × effort
Which findings a sponsor needs closed, plotted against what each one costs in calendar time — so the sequence is visible rather than argued.
Sequencing, not a flat list
A finding that is the consequence of another is marked as one and ranked below it. One missing group risk register is one workstream, not seven.
Recommendation and owner per finding
What to do, roughly how long it takes, and whether it is your team, an external advisor, or us.
How the foundations get closed
For the gates and the criteria other criteria stand on, the ordered steps the work actually runs in — and where the binding input is calendar time rather than money, which step says so.
The exec-summary letter list
The lettered findings in the shape a readiness report actually uses, and the whole thing as a PDF.
See it before you decide
The whole diagnostic, run over a fictional issuer's answers and published in full — the executive summary, the priority × effort grid, the sequencing, every finding with its effort and owner, and the same PDF and Excel exports. Produced by the product rather than written for the page, so it cannot flatter it.
Already have access?
Opening the diagnostic asks for a username and password in your browser’s own sign-in box. Type anything as the username and paste your access token as the password. You receive the token when you pay; it opens the diagnostic for 30 days from the payment, and it is not an account — there is nothing to sign up for. Lost it? Write to us and we will reissue it with the same end date. Nothing else on this site asks you to sign in.
Open the diagnostic →What it costs
For scale: the published band for technical-accounting IPO readiness work is $0.3m–$0.8m. That figure is PwC’s own, and it is quoted here with its source and date rather than as a saving we invented — we would rather you check it than take it from us. PwC, Considering an IPO? The costs of going and being public (September 2012)
£5,000
No VAT is charged: Avant Partners Limited is not registered for VAT, so £5,000 is the whole amount you pay.
One-off: 30 days of access to the diagnostic, counted from the day you pay — not a subscription, so nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel. In those 30 days you can run it over all the criteria as often as you need, and the report, the PDF and the workbook you download stay yours afterwards. It is an introductory price: fixed for access bought at it, and it may be higher for later orders.
The closest free tool to ours is Deloitte’s IPO SelfAssess, which promises tailored results within two business days. Ours answers in ten minutes, in your own browser, with nothing stored and nobody to talk to first.
How to buy it
By card
On Stripe’s own checkout page: your card details go to Stripe and never reach this site, and there is no account to create. When the payment goes through, Stripe brings you straight back to a page with your access token, and the 30 days start from the payment.
Before you pay: on GDRs, an international secondary listing, AIM or a home-market-only listing no sponsor is appointed, so no confirmation is given under UKLR 24.3.2R(5). What still binds on each of those routes is set out on the order page.
Pay £5,000 by card →By invoice
The order step composes the message for you — company, listing route, target admission month — and hands it to your own mail client; you get back an invoice, and your access token once it is paid. Nothing you have typed into the free scan reaches us on the way, and nothing typed on the order page is submitted anywhere either.
Closing what the diagnostic finds is work your own team and your own advisers do. If you would rather we were involved in it beyond the diagnostic itself, that is a separate engagement with its own scope and its own terms, and it starts with the same email.
Don’t have access?
Start with the free scan — 15 criteria across all nine areas, run entirely in your browser with nothing stored. It is the same engine and the same pack, and it will contradict you where your own answers collide. What it deliberately leaves out is the 7 criteria that stop a listing outright: every one of them is in the diagnostic, and none is in the free scan.
A management tool, not an assurance opinion. The confirmation under UKLR 24.3.2R(5) can be given only by a sponsor, and the FPPP opinion only by an appointed reporting accountant.
